Our generation has an awful habit of wanting everything instantly. It seems as though we have forgotten about the expression "good things come to those who wait." I believe this is true for most things, including love.

So many people are in a rush to try to find the person they want to spend the rest of their life with. If you look at a single person’s phone they most likely have Tinder downloaded, or an app just like it. Given not everyone on Tinder is looking for a serious relationship, but instead only a one-time, late night connection. Regardless, it's still a form of intimacy.

You're in your 20's, you're not supposed to have it all figured out and that includes your love life. Stop looking so hard. You'll find the person when it's meant to be. Chances are you're not going to find the love of your life on a dating app that you swipe left or right on, although I will say there are always exceptions to this rule. If there's one thing I've learned on my journey this past year, it's that you need to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Now is the time in your life when you should really be focused on yourself. Figuring out who you are, what you want and to have fun. You don't need a significant other to live your life. If you feel like you do, you need more time to yourself.

The best advice I can give to anyone is to be adventurous, be daring and take chances. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Do things you would normally never do, and travel places you want to go. You don't need someone there holding your hand to do this, I promise. While you're out living your life, meeting new people and experiencing new things maybe you'll run across the person you're meant to be with. They are out there. One day you will find your happily ever after but first you must love yourself.
