I hear the same things all the time from people who have found their somebody... "You're young," "Enjoy your freedom," "Your better off focusing on yourself." And yes all that is good and true, but it doesn't stop the wondering feeling of when will you find your somebody, and who will it be.
What will they look like? Will they have curly hair? Green or blue eyes? Will their favorite color be the same as yours? These are just random questions that run through my head when thinking about that "somebody."
There is nothing wrong with wondering or hoping these kinds of things, but ladies don't get too hung up on waiting.
I've found, and I'm sure many of you have too, that thinking and worry about finding somebody can be stressful and annoying. It may seem like everyone else around you is finding someone and starting lives together, and wondering what is wrong with you, and why you can't find someone.
The answer to that question is simple, it's not your time yet... As much as we'd like to believe in the fairytale life, finding someone by the time you're 23 and living happily ever after, it really does not always work like that.
It may take longer for you than someone else, but don't rush anything because timing is everything. Do not be scared to put yourself out there either... Date and meet new people, spend time with your friends, skyrocket your career, do whatever makes you happy.
The best advice to give in this situation is to stop looking, and although that may seem backward, you always find things more true and honest when you stop searching for them. A waterfall becomes so much more majestic when you stumble upon its beauty instead of looking for it.
Don't get discouraged, just because you stop looking doesn't mean it will take longer to find someone, it could be tomorrow, it could be a week from now, or it could be a year from now. But wherever your somebody is, they are looking too, and soon enough they will walk into the same place as you at the same time, and look at you, and soon enough the rest will be history.
Remember to not settle... Remember that your somebody should make you laugh, and never make you question your worth. There will be happiness, so much more than sadness... You will know when it feels right, and all those days of wondering what it will be like when "somebody" comes along will feel silly.
But for now, focus on yourself and trusting who you are and what you want, and soon enough all the puzzle pieces will fit together and create a picture just for you.
