Hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream of love...but don't put your life on hold waiting for love. Mandy Hale.
In this era, where society equates being in relationships and happiness as a must go to for every person, choosing to be single becomes a quite challenging decision yet alone is questioned. Happiness is experienced individually by different people in various ways.
Being 22 and single, never dated or tried an actual relationship I rise a lot of curiosity to reasons as to why am single get a lot of pity faces and so many "it's okay, you are still young" phrases and if am lucky enough get a promise to a random match because we would make a great couple.
Truth is am already in a healthy relationship with myself, I spend the right amount of energy and love that is needed to help me grow into a better self, value me, appreciate my existence as I prefer it.
I choose things in my life that make me contented with it. Honestly, being single makes me happy binge-watching my favorite series, learning what inspires, encourages me, initially getting to know my true self.
My space is my time, am an introvert sharing is not a habit I prefer to breath do specific things without considering who I may be disturbing. This is the best part of my life enjoying every bit of living that I give to myself.
Concentrating on building my other relationships, being aware of the people around you knowing that you are regularly available. The greatest kind of love does come from those dearest to you. I evaluate the growth in these relationships simply because am single.
Flirting with no concern no awkward scenarios, sure I like to giggle, tease, start a small story with another single self but at my own pace flirting is only harmless in nature and also there are no judgments in the end.
Having fewer obligations, relationships normally come with more responsibilities that were never yours and this supplements more to what you may or may not manage. Am single and I like how great it is to be in control.
Gradually, I have learned that love isn't rushed for it takes time and patience am certainly on that road for myself, because I want to be the best version of me when I meet another single person on the same road but for now, I believe and know being single is definitely what I want.
