Feeling Left Behind

I'm feeling down about where I am with life at the moment. I've just turned 32, single (broke up with my fiancé 7 months ago- together 7 years, engaged for 4) and still living in the shared house as I can't move on until it sells. All my friends have partners, babies and getting married. I just feel like I'm being left behind.
All of the above I really thought I was going to have with my ex, but he kept changing his mind until I finally let go ..... now he wants me back.
I honestly have no idea how to pick myself up or where to start. I know I needed to be treated better but I can't help thinking maybe I should go back to the life I so desperately wanted in the hope it'll be better.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? How do I move on with my life? Everyday I'm haunted with memories and doubts.

Imagine you're on a boat - a yacht or similar. You can stand at the back and look at the churning water and dark clouds of the past. Your journey would be full of that picture. Or you could stand at the front and look at the smooth waters, the sunshine and the undiscovered beaches ahead of you. Which do you choose?
