I want to get lost in this world, instead of getting lost in someone else.

I was told I wouldnt feel complete unless I had a significant other.

That I was unable to appreciate myself if I was all alone.

But I guess life doesnt work that way.

I guess theres more to life than looking out for the perfect one.

Theres more to life than hoping for a happily ever after.

I want to start a great adventure in pursuit of my happiness.

I need to find out what I really want in life.

I need to be on my own for a while and make the scattered pieces of my life whole.

I want to own my time and experience everything in this world.

I am single and I am determined to stay this way.

I am better at handling my heart with caution than anyone else.

I am learning to be dependent on myself.

I am trusting myself more.

And I am becoming so good at being alone.

I dont need a significant other to make me feel loved.

I can provide myself the love that I am looking for.

I dont need someone to tell me how special I am.

I already know Im one of the kind.

And I dont need anyone to validate me.

I am already enough for myself.

Maybe its okay to not put myself in the dating world right now.

Maybe its okay if I miss out my forever person while Im enjoying my moments of being single.

And maybe its okay to not have someone who brings butterflies in my stomach.

Being single is a gift Im more than willing to receive and hold close to my heart.

Its an opportunity delivered in front of meone which I have no intention of walking away from.

Being single is something Im in the process of learning.
