Being single does not have to be a bad thing.
It doesn’t make you undesirable nor do you need it to be whole.
As beautiful as relationships may be, they don’t have to be a priority.

Society also makes it feel like women have to be in a relationship.
That if a woman of a particular age isnt married, then something must be wrong with them.
It almost felt that your worth depended on your relationship status.
In high school, I remember feeling so lonely.
Id watch girls in my classes get into relationship after relationship.
Theyd get asked out to prom and homecoming, while I was pretty much alone.
It didnt matter how the guy treated me, I was just happy to not be completely alone.
In college, it got even worse.
Id compromise my values, put their feelings first, and ignore my boundaries.
What I noticed about all my relationships was that I wasnt complete on my own.
I needed them to validate the feelings I had towards myself.
My entire happiness depended on them.
But thats a lot of responsibility to put on another person.
People are flawed, and you never know when or if theyre going to leave your life.
After having two failed relationships, I finally took a step back to evaluate what was going wrong.
And thats when I realized that I have to be complete by myself.
That a relationship did not define my happiness.
And, more importantly, I had to love myself before I could love anyone else.
Being single does not have to be a bad thing.
It doesnt make you undesirable nor do you need it to be whole.
As beautiful as relationships may be, they dont have to be a priority.
There is nothing wrong with taking some time out to be by yourself.
Spend time with the people who truly love and appreciate you.
Travel the world and try new things.
Find happiness within yourself and love yourself unconditionally.
If someone comes along, then thats great, but if not, thats okay too.
