Raise your hand if you’re the girl who always flies solo.

You go to parties alone and stand in the back because you don’t have a date.

You go to weddings by yourself and people say, ‘don’t worry dear, your time will come.’

Then, there are the everyday activities you do alone. You go grocery shopping alone, eat out alone and maybe you even sit in a movie theater alone.

After a while, you get tired of being the one who is always single and never has a date. Friends start to feel bad for you, so they try playing matchmaker. Even that tends to get old.

In today’s world, it’s incredibly hard to not feel the tiniest pang of anger when you see the flood of cute couples pictures on social media.

Sometimes, it may feel like it’s all in your face, but no relationship is ever perfect. Even if the couple looks like they have it all together, odds are they don’t.

Don't let what you see on social media get you down.

There is no shame in having your Facebook relationship status set on single. Yeah, it’s been set on single for years, but who cares. Maybe it’s been set on single since the day you made your account.

The only person who notices is YOU.

The person you are is more than enough, and you alone will outshine any relationship you see on social media.

Over the years, I’ve gone to my fair share of weddings and parties alone. It’s not that I didn’t want a date or I didn’t have anyone to ask. I simply chose to go alone.

Now, I’m not going to lie because there were many times I felt uncomfortable being alone when everyone else had a date. There was a point in time where I let that feeling get to me, and it kept me from going out.

I was tired of people asking me if I was seeing anyone, and when I replied no, the next question was why. Suddenly, my personal life was their business, and it made me feel even worse.

That's when I realized how INSANE it was for me to feel bad about myself for being single.

There is nothing wrong with not having someone by your side. You don’t need a boyfriend or a date to make you feel confident.

Now, it’s time to be confident in yourself and proud of who you are. You are the girl who flies solo, and it’s time you own it. You can turn heads all on your own. Your confidence will show others you are comfortable in your own shoes.

Your relationship status does not define you.

Instead, you should be shouting it because you are you, and you are amazing. There will be times you wish you had someone, and you might even feel lonely. There will be times others might judge you, but no one can take away your confidence.

If you’re one of the many who always flies solo, keep your head up, and keep living that single lady life.
