Often times we find ourselves daydreaming about that perfect summer fling quickly feeling discouraged when we return to reality. The actuality is… it's okay. Summer is a time of lasting memories and a break from the pressure of school; we shouldn't have to worry about keeping a relationship strong.
Summer doesn't just have to be spent with a boyfriend or girlfriend to be fun and memorable; it can be spent with friends and family. Taking spontaneous trips with friends to the beach or to the mountains is the recipe for lifelong memories. Summer flings full of late night drives, stargazing, drive-in movies, etc. can't only just be done with a boyfriend or girlfriend, but it can also be done with friends or family and still be fun and memorable.
A boyfriend or girlfriend might not last forever, but true friends will last a lifetime. Instead of wasting time trying to start a summer fling, spend time with the friends that are with you through it all. Go out and have fun not worrying about anyone else but yourself.
Family is forever no matter how much we hate it or love it. During the school year, we all very well know that we get too carried away with classes or friends or activities that we forget about the ones who have been there since the beginning.
Being single for the summer allows us to not be tied down, it allows for us to truly find ourselves and focus on bettering ourselves. The secret to a healthy and strong relationship is loving ourselves because we can't love anyone else unless we love ourselves. So hit the gym, buy that super cute outfit or those brand new Nikes, do what makes you happy because that's really all that matters.
You don't need a boyfriend or girlfriend to find happiness, that summer fling will be over in August, just live life and enjoy the ride making the best out of every moment before school starts again.
