Nothing Im about to say is revolutionary.
Its all very basiccommon sense for your heart.

But its important nonetheless: Theres no shame in waiting.
So stay single until you find a relationship worth fighting for.
It might find you when youre 16, 22, 34, or 57.

It might knock on your door at 25, and then disappear awhile before it reemerges when youre 29.
It might arrive cloaked in uncertainty or shrouded in logistical difficulties.
It might look nothing like what you expected it to.

And you wont regret it.
Until then, dont bother trying your hardest to make anything less resemble long-term happiness.
Dont bother smiling your way through yet another dreary dinner date because youre aching to be in a relationship.
Dont pretend that you find someones flaws totally endearing when in fact they make you cringe with discomfort.
Dont compromise over and over again just to keep some fuzzy version of lasting love alive.
Stay single until you find someone whose aura automatically energizes you.
Someone who, just by being him or herself, motivates you to be a better you.
Stay single until you meet someone you want to be with as much as possible.
Stay single until you experience the special brand of comfort that accompanies reassurance from someone who genuinely cares.
Stay single until you meet your match.
Someone whos unwilling to let you get away with being anything other than your best self.
Someone who pushes you to do better, think harder, and reach higher.
Someone who gets that perfection is a myth and real life involves mishaps, misunderstandings, and miscommunications.
One hundred percent authentic admiration and mutual respect.
Stay single until you find someone whose very presence is a bandaid for your soul.
Until you find a relationship just like thiswait.
