Upon writing this, I am not refusing to ever be in any kind of a romantic relationship in my future, but instead, clarifying why I tend to prefer not being in a romantic relationship.
I am not waiting for "the one" or anticipating any particular person to take notice of me. I am still super young, and I've only just begun college. I do realize that I have so many years ahead to find someone if I wish to.
Many fail to realize that being in a romantic relationship is not a lifetime requirement. While it may sound pleasant or may be a goal for many to achieve a lifelong romantic relationship you can still breathe and enjoy every possible bit of your life without waking up next to someone every morning.
You can totally prefer to be in a romantic relationship more often than not, but please realize that being in a relationship is not absolutely necessary in order to feel complete.
Romantic relationships are greatly normalized. We see them on just about every television show and encounter them in almost every novel. This makes us think that they are a requirement.
We often believe that finding the right person will save us from all of our problems, but in reality, bettering our lives begins with our actions.
Relationships will not solve all of our problems.
By declining someone's interest in having a relationship with me, I am not being inconsiderate of their feelings. I have values, too, which are equally important. It would be morally wrong for me to create a further relationship with somebody who I have no desire to be in a relationship with.
I do not feel lonely knowing that everyone to the left and right of me is in some kind of a relationship. I feel like myself. I don't think anything of it. Once again, I am only a freshman in college. This should not be a worry of mine.
I do not lack all interest in being a relationship, I am just not looking for a relationship. I'm not searching for somebody. I will know that I want to be in a relationship with somebody when I realize that they make me happier than how I am when I'm single.
I tend to prefer being single over being in a relationship simply because that is where I currently find myself at my happiest. This is not a status that I am waiting to change, and my blank relationship status is not something which I am seeking to fill in.
Being single isn't what it's made out to be. I am certainly grateful for having my friends and family who want to listen to me, and I am not in need of much else in my life. At this time, I just want to achieve my life passion and enjoy these days while I can.
