This Is The Reason You're Single

It's not the reason you think.

This Is The Reason You're Single
Stocksnap.io

You're single because it's just not your time, it's that simple.

There is nothing wrong with you, stop picking yourself apart. It's honestly that simple, right now you're meant to be alone. You're meant to spend time with your friends and family, but most of all you're meant to spend time with yourself.

You're meant to take yourself on dates. Meant to watch crappy romcoms by yourself and meant to focus on your own future right now.

You aren't single because you skipped the party, or stayed home when your friends wanted to take you out. You aren't single because you spoke to loud or voiced your opinions. Why should you silence yourself for a man's sake?

Don't fall for that bullshit sweetheart.

You aren't single because you sing too loud and off key, for focusing on your grades or for working long hours to pay the bills. You aren't single because you made out with some guy when you swore you'd stay sober that night.

You aren't single because you went back to him even after he broke you and you aren't single because you chose to leave again. I'm still proud that you chose yourself.

You aren't single for being too passionate, too loud, too involved, too caring, too guarded, too opinionated, or too loving.

You aren't single because you're not more like her. It was honestly his lost.

You are single because you are single.

It truly is that simple.

You did nothing wrong, it's just not your time. So my darling, please focus on yourself right now. You won't be single forever, even if it feels that way now. Live this life for yourself because one day you will have someone else to focus on and there will be days that you will miss when you could be selfishly single.

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.
