I'm Single, So What?
Hey guys!
Today,
I thought I’d share with you a different type of post, not a beauty
nor fashion post, but a more personal one.
This
year has definitely been the best year of my life, but I still had
some tough moments for sure. Being in a new city with new people and
far from your family made me anxious and alone at times.
Honestly,
I’ve never been that girl that NEEDED a boyfriend. I’m more into
letting destiny taking its course.
All my
girlfriends had boyfriends and I was one of the few single ones…
This never really bothered me. I always felt like I didn’t have to
settle with someone just in the sakes of having a boyfriend. Not my
scene. But a few months before summer I sometimes felt a little left
out… Is that strange? Don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy for
my friends and their relationships, but I sometimes wished I had
someone too.
I’m
not the most affectionate person but so what? That’s just me. I’m
not one to go head first when it comes to a boy. Specially this past
year, I had my guard up like crazy. I was told that being in my first
year of uni, I had some sort of target on my back by the older guys.
Gross I know. And even if that wasn’t the case with most guys, that
just stuck with me.
This
past year I felt like some guys “fell for me” (or at least that’s
what they would say) without even knowing me. Liking me without
having reasons to… Without knowing the weird me. The girl that
enjoys eating chips with ice-cream. The girl that cries watching
Masterchef. The girl that prefers sleeping on the couch even when
there’s a bed available. The girl that hates talking about herself
and that feels uncomfortable every time she gets complemented. You
can say I have trust issues…
Summer
is almost over and I can say that being single during this time gave
me so much clarity. I can honestly say I have the best friends I
could ask for and the most supportive family. I can’t complain. So
I’m definitely not going to complain about being single. Being
single is great.
Life is
too short to force something with someone that’s just not there and
it’s way too short to wait around for the perfect guy to show up,
cause he’ll appear at some point so I might as well enjoy my life
until he shows up. I’m done wasting my time.
I’m
starting this new school year fresh, without a care in the world.
Ready to have fun with friends, meet different people and start my
new classes.
What are your thoughts about this?
Ps: I'm a teeny bit nervous about releasing a more personal post...

Girl I totally know how you feel! Literally all of my close friends are in relationships and it can get me down SO much, I literally feel like such a single potato sometimes haha. But I'm definitely trying to think more positive and remind myself that it's fine not to have a boyfriend, it doesn't decrease my self worth!

i completely agree, i haven't had a boyfriend in a long time but i'm happy with myself and i believe that it'll happen when the time is right. luckily none of my close friends really have boyfriends either so i don't have to see it all the time haha

Such an interesting read. I agree so much with you! I think you speak for a lot of young women out there. Having a boyfriend is no longer mandatory like it used to be. I have a boyfriend whom I love to pieces but honestly, if I didn't have him I wouldn't wanna be with anyone else. I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person. Why waste yourself on relationships that don't mean much or on people who might not fully appreciate and understand you? Being single is the wise option here and like you said, just letting life take its course and see where it leads you!

Personally I feel like when you are in your twenties you need to stay single and not enter into any long term relationships because you are just starting to get to know yourself as an adult and that is a long and difficult process to navigate let alone bringing another person into the mix. I have noticed a lot of twenty somethings loosing their sense of self when they are in relationships.
