Maybe they say it to your face.
Maybe if they ask have you tried dating or are you on any apps?
Like its impossible to be happy alone.
God & Man
Like you should always be looking.
And its true, love and relationships and dating can make you happier.
But they make you happier when its the right relationship.
God & Man
So many people buy into this idea that its better to be with someone than to be alone.
To be alone is to be in a relationship that isnt pushing you to become better.
To be alone is choosing to be with someone just because.
To bealoneis choosing someone and it just doesnt feel right.
To be alone is standing next to someone who feels like a stranger.
Even if youre in a relationship.
Why is it so looked down upon when someone says they are happy being single?
Why do we not believe them when they say it?
Why is our first reaction, Id love to introduce you to someone you might like?
The concept of choosing to be single seems foreign to people.
And when they tell you they are happy and not looking for anything right now, we ask why?
Maybe their last relationship ended so badly, they truly need time for themselves.
Maybe theyd rather be alone than settling like their friends have.
Maybe they arent ready to commit to one person and are fine with casual relationships.
Maybe they arent as worried as you are about their relationship status.
Actively pursuing a relationship when you arent ready for one is what will make you feel single.
There is a difference between being alone and choosing to be single.
We all have one or two people we know would date us if we pursued it.
Settling is what will lead to you being alone.
Im a hopeless romantic.
I value love and relationships more than anyone and it does make you happier.
But thats only when its the right relationship one that knocks you off your feet.
Dont just be with someone because you’re able to.
Wait for the one you cant live without.
When you are choosing to be single you are choosing to not settle or lower your standards you.
You are waiting for what you deserve.
You arent too worried about it.
Its about meeting someone who makes you not want to be single anymore.
Its that moment where you could come up with an excuse but you dont want to anymore.
When you choose to be single youre giving yourself time to heal from the past.
When you choose to be single youre choosing self respect.
When you choose to be single you arent letting others influence you.
Dont allow anyone to make you feel guilty for that.
