Why I Am Okay With Being Single For Right Now

"Being Single Is Only Sad If You Have A Problem With Your Own Company. I'm Content With Mine." Olga Kurylenko

I have been single for most of my life. I only dated one guy in my whole life. He was an amazing guy who I never talk to anymore. It just did not work out, he was going back to Hawaii and I was going to be in Ohio. He taught me so much about myself, and what it should be like when guys like you.

I am not saying that I have not been on dates with other guys; however, I have not found the person I want to end up with. I might've of already have, but I don't know. Love takes time. I am not scared to be in a relationship; however, I am content with being by myself until it finds me.

People might think I am crazy for saying all of this because they probably want a boyfriend or a love life. Don't get me wrong, I like some guys right now, but it does not mean I want to date right now. A lot has happen to me last three years that I am not ready to date.

It taken me almost four years to be in love with my life, and myself. I am sorry to say it will have to take a really good guy who has to be patience, sweet, funny, and understanding that I am not going to date around. I am looking for that one person.

I don't believe in dating just to date. I am actually one of those girls who wants to the date the "one". I am not saying that I am not going to go on dates with others. But, I am scared of what could happen.

I am one of those girls who seem so confident, who knows what they want, and has it all put together; however, that is not the case with me.

I am one of the most sensitive person when it comes to guy. I care way too much what a guy I like thinks of me. It hurts when I cannot figure out why they do not like me.

So in this time right now, I am trying not to be that way. I am trying to figure out for myself what I want in life, in love, and in general. I am not scared not to date right now.

I keep thinking how I have three and half years of schooling left to go, well more exact, five and half years because of getting my masters. Maybe I will be one of those people who gets settle in their career and find love after I get my career all worked out?

However, that is okay. In a weird way, I am not ready to settle down in my early 20s. I am not saying it is a bad thing to find your love of life right now. Some of my good friends are married or even have children with their love of their lives. I could not be happier for them.

One day, I want to have that with my love of my life, but for right now, I am okay with being single. To be quite honest, it is gonna take a great guy to date me. Who knows it could happen this year, five years from now, or even, in my thirties. But for right now, I am happy being single. But for now, I have an amazing family and a great friend group to get me through.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
