Everyone thinks being single is a big issue in life. We spend so much time in our life searching for that one person because society acts like our only purpose in life is to find one person to spend it with. There’re so many rules and judgments that if we don’t find "the person" by the time we’re 30, we'll be alone forever.

Being single doesn’t define you. It doesn’t mean you have commitment issues, high levels of anxiety, or any of that. It does not represent anything about yourself, your knowledge, your creativity, the way you care for people, or the little things about you that people fall in love with every day. Don’t ever try to change the way you are because your relationships aren't working in your favor.

Being single means that you don’t want to settle. You don’t want to settle for someone who isn’t extraordinary, who you can’t wait to fall asleep next to and wake up to the next morning. You want to be with someone who takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you see the world in a completely different light. Someone who isn’t toxic to your health, someone who gives you butterflies every single time you see them, and someone you can picture building a new life with.

The next time you are sad that you’re single, don’t be. Don’t put a sad love song station on Pandora or watch some chick flick that you’ll end up crying about. Live life. You have your friends and family to share your life with. You are not alone.

Wait for that person. Be single. Do things with your family, your girlfriends, or whoever. Don’t settle. Don't lower your expectations or standards. Don’t think being single means you have issues or that you should settle for the next guy that is interested in you. That isn’t what love is and isn’t what love should be. So wait for that person. Don't stress about being single because life is too short for anything but good vibes in this f*cked up world.
