Stay single until you find a man who ____.
Stay single until you find a woman like ____.

Wait for a relationship that ____.
Dont settle unless ____.
Be alone until ____.Its exhausting.
We give ourselves so many rules, so many boundaries.
But sometimes I think weve got it all wrong.
But love doesnt work like that, does it?
Because how the hell will you know whos right for you unless you fall into relationships that dont work?
Into people who are imperfect?
Until youve made some mistakes?
How will you know youve found real love until youve lost it along the way?
How will you know youve met your forever person until you date some crazies?
Until you go through hell with someone standing by your side?
Until you choose to accept someone elses imperfections?
Until you learn and grow alongside another person, even if the relationship crashes and burns?
There isnt this straight path to follow that leads to eventual, perfect happiness.
There are bumps and broken hearts, failed connections and moments of defeat.
Love isnt perfect.
And its about time we stop expecting it to be.
But theres something to be said for making mistakes, too.
Theres nothing wrong with dating people, with falling into relationships that dont always make sense but make youfeelsomething.
Theres nothing wrong with giving your heart to someone who sets your soul on fire.
Theres nothing wrong with believing in impossible love.
Its not about finding a perfect person, its about finding something real.
Its about making mistakes.
So dont hold yourself back.
Dont tell yourself that you must be alone if youre not in a relationship with the right one.
Dont tell yourself that theres this flawless person out there because theres not, and youre not either.
(Thankfully, right?)
Dont give yourself rules and guidelines and instructions for how to feel.
Dont spend so much time analyzing love that you forget how to care for someone.
Being single is okay.
Falling for the wrong person is okay.
Not having found your forever love just yet is okay.
Making mistakes is okay.
This islove, theres no how-to manual.
Just let your connections build, your emotions run wild, and your heart beat freely.
And in the meantime, let your little heart be fearless.
