A new academic year has started. For some of us it means rekindling our summer romance, for others, it means experiencing being alone after so long. Like many, I dreamt about falling in love with a new romance but realistically this is time and experience to really know more about myself than anyone else. So, without further adieu here is the list.
One: Time. Maybe you spent days, months planning for that perfect date night. Now, you should love yourself. You don't have time to spend thinking about that breakup or get into something new right now. You're going to see the world for yourself, rather than holding one's hand through the process. You deserve better. You deserve to not contemplate tireless hours and numerous night thinking about them. Your time is yours so give every second to making your life as magnificent as you can at this moment.
Two: Money. No more wasting money on dinner dates or bouquets of ridiculously enormously followers. Dollar after dollar, cent after cent, paycheck after paycheck wasting it all for someone who wasn't worth a penny. At the end of it all, your time and dedication should be put into making your life better, and for that much richer. Use your expenses to make your life a beautiful dream.
Three: Energy. Putting all that effort into making something work that literally deprives you of your existence, your soul. Energy should be focused on the positive attributes of your life and not on the negatives. Making your life better is only the beginning of your long overdue happiness.
Four: Love. Actual love. Not the type that is one-sided and contemplated in benefiting only one person in the relationship. I will emphasize, please love yourself. You have put others before yourself for too long. Just like a phoenix rises from fire and ashes. You too shall rise to greatness and glory.
Five: Life. Life is all about knowing who you are. And how are you going to able to figure that out if you haven't had the chance to genuinely, truly, and honestly know yourself? These precious stunning instants of living, drive us further to fully loving who we are without the need to hold someone's hand in the process.
These are the five reasons why being single isn't bad. You should feel accomplished in this new phase of your life. You can let go of the past and live in the present. Strive for your future, there's so much in store for you. Welcome, to a new journey. May your path bring you to a better place.
