Being single. It's something we all want but it's also something we hate to happen.
On one hand, being single is considered this road to self-discovery, if you will. A time in your life where you can focus on who you are as a human being, without the hovering personality of another person. You can explore your likes and dislikes, you can travel and life your life without being tethered to someone else.You are free to be wholly you with no barriers. On the other hand, being in a relationship seems to be all the rage. You always have someone to talk to, who cares about how your day went. You have someone that will be there to partake in adventures with you and you have someone who loves you for you, all your flaws included.
The concept of being single and relationships is something that's been around for a long time. Relationships are the basis for the majority of books, movies, TV shows, plays, songs, musicals, and anything in between. More often than not, these mediums portray love stories of people falling in love with their soul mate and being rescue from the pits of single-life hell, or so it seems. It's often hard to tell what you should be doing and which side of the spectrum is better than the other. But, here's a hint: neither of them are.
It's OK to not be OK being single.
All human beings are made differently. Some like to eat fat foods and watch Netflix all day, some like to eat salads and go to the gym. Some people prefer Coke over Pepsi or vice versa. As such, it is logical to believe that some people want to be in relationships while others don't. Some people were made to be single while others were made to be in a relationship.
There are people out there that relentlessly plow through the field of singles, never holding onto one person for too long and seemingly always breaking hearts. These people are not made to be in relationships. For some reason, they are too selfish, too naive, too immature to handle the importance of a relationship. They don't understand that hearts are not to be played with and choosing to go through life with one person by your side is an enormous decision.
And then there are people who are made to love someone. Their hearts are full and overflowing with a love so deep it can take your breath away. The lucky ones that end up with these people are able to experience their love on a daily basis. However, it's these people that seem to get hurt the most, because their love causes them to trust too easily.
It's totally OK to not be OK being single. It doesn't matter if the world is telling you to go and find yourself or to unite with your fellow single women/men. Some people were made to love and that may be you. So just bide your time and grow your love and sooner or later, your soul mate will waltz right into your life.
