Just found out how old you are.
OP, you're a young guy. No offense to women on this board, but when you're in your 20s, they just get in the way. Especially these days with the high divorce rates, unexpected pregnancies, and all the wasted money you spent years trying to save, as I'm sure you are experiencing.
My advice is this:
Give yourself 5-7 years to build yourself a career, learn what you can, save what you can, become what you've always wanted to become, and travel. After you have completed this, I guarantee two things:
1) More sense of self, more independence, more confidence 2) women, but more so, finding a woman that is right for you.
Please don't tell me you have kids.

I love this. OP, this is some good advice, as well.
Except for the 4th. You can't make everyone happy, and if you spend too much time caring about other people's happiness, you'll be disappointed frequently and that's something you don't need right now. Before you can help other people, you need to help yourself.

I get what you're saying, trying to make everyone happy is a lost cause. Its not as simple as going out on the street and giving some stranger a bunch of money. Its the little things that make others happy, not even necessary to be of materialistic nature. Sometimes a smile can change someones mood for the better.

One of the biggest factors contributing to good mood and happiness is exercise. Them happy molecules get to work when you exercise, unfortunately I don't do enough of that.

Well, sure.
I guess we can simplify the 4th and just tell OP to not be an asshole. I don't think he is anyway.
Although, when you're depressed or angry, the best thing to do is spread your emotions...such powerful...dark...energy to feast on.

Sometimes it helps to think about the things that really got on your nerves about a mate to help get over the feelings of what you miss. Time heals as well. I find meditation helps with pretty much everything too including this.
Stay strong dude. Learn to be a happy independent individual. You don't need anyone else to complete you. You are complete.

My advice is aim for the stars. Work hard and accomplish as much as you can, as fast as you can. Go back to school. Be successful and happy. Research free energy and build space ships.

For example I grew accustomed to the meals my wife cooked so now after my divorce I starve around like a zombie lol
Any advice on being happy single and being successful and getting through this? (besides learning to cook on a regular basis which might be a topic on its own lol)

Welcome to hell, I've been single most of my life and I fucking hate it. All I can recommend is that you go out on the prowl for some strange. And buy some microwave dinners.
Sorry to be a downer, but it sucks. I envy people who are able to get comfortable with being single.

No. Fuck that. Eat lots of fruits and veggies, make yourself yogurt smoothies, learn to cook with vegetables, and look into different ethnic cuisines that stray from the meat and potatoes thing.
Cook some motherfucking delicious food. I've done the bare cabinets thing in the past when I was living mainly off of amphetamines and eating out at restaurants a lot, and it sucks and is expensive.
Just equip yourself with some basic cooking skills or a crock pot and you will be set.

I have standards.
Unfortunately, my standards are at least somewhat, or occasionally, completely irrational and self-defeating.
