A lot of people I know who are single, believe that they are in desperate need to find a relationship and their significant others of their dream. But in reality, we are all young and in college, and need to put ourselves first before we find someone who is suppose to shape, form, and mold to our heart. I am not saying that if you are in a relationship with someone else that it is wrong, because I am not. I am in a happy, serious, and strong relationship right now. However, before I went into that relationship, I found out who I am, and who I want to become in the future. As a result I found someone who perfectly molded to my wants and needs. I found someone to take care of my heart, after I took care of it first.
1. You discover yourself
Before being in a relationship, you need to take care of yourself, which means finding your identity. As well, you find out so much about yourself that you love, which allows you to share your incredible, healthy, and happy self with another human being. How exciting is that.
2. You can do whatever you want on a whim
You want to flirt with every guy you think is cute? Go for it.
You want to travel the world without a second glance looking back? Go for it, no one is holding you back.
Being single allows you to do what you want to do with over thinking what others want to do or if they would be affected by you leaving. You are doing what is best for you, and that is irreplaceable.
3. You strengthen your relationships with your girls
Being in a relationship means balancing a lot of things around in your life. Such as balancing sleep, your job, working out, family, friends, and now a significant others. By being single, you are around your friends a lot, and let me tell ya sista. A boy may be nice to have around, but if anything ever turns south, its your girls and your family that will always be there for you.
4. You do what makes YOU happy
When you are single, you always get to do what you want and do what makes you happy rather than having to be concerned about what someone else may be more interested in doing. Being single, allows you to be happy by doing the things you want, which in turn allows you to become the women you aspire to be.
