The Struggle Of Searching For Mr. Right

I hate being single and I will not apologize for that.

The Struggle Of Searching For Mr. Right

To sum my love life up I am the single friend. I am the friend who watches her friends go through breakups and how much it kills them. I am not the one who goes through the breakups and I have been that girl for all of my life. The truth is I hate being single I truly do and I have many people say to me "he will come when the time is right" or "don't best yourself up" and my personal favorite "you shouldn't hate being single you should enjoy it"

So what it comes down to is I will not apologize for hating being single. It's not that I'm desperate or I crave love because that's not it. It's that I see all of my friends be in and out of relationships and I don't. I am sure it sounds like I'm whining but it's something you can't describe unless you understand and the feeling is mutual.

Call me crazy but I would love to feel a heartbreak I would love to know exactly what that feels like. I am sure that those reading this will think "wow she is nuts why would she want to feel like that" The thing is I am sure I wouldn't enjoy it but it's one of those you always want what you can't have issues.

One if the hardest things for me is to check Instagram or Facebook and I am constantly scrolling past pictures of couples with the cutest caption ever and then all of the "aww you guys are perfect" comments and my heart instantly drops. I would love to be that girl who posts cute pictures with their significant other and smile at ever comment my picture has received. Not because I love attention but because I love being loved. And I have never truly felt that before so, of course, I'm jealous.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not mad that I don't have that and I don't hate those who do. It's just that I would give anything to feel it even for a second. However, I'm allowed to be bummed. I am constantly hearing people say how they love being single but I guess I am different when it comes to relationships because I hate being single and I will not apologize for that.

Yes, I know Mr. Right is out there somewhere but I loose hope as the days go on. I constantly have people give me the whole "you are gorgeous! guys have to be all over you" and the more I hear that it doesn't make me feel better it makes me feel worse. The truth is I just would love to feel what all of the happy couples feel. I would love for a guy to look at me like I mean the world to him. No, I am not miserable or depressed because of this issue but I will say this due to popular opinion I truly believe being single sucks. It's a difficult thing especially when I am surrounded by couples. So yes I don't enjoy being single I would love to not be single but I know that when the times comes the wait will be well worth it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
