Reasons I Am Single

and I've never been happier

Reasons I Am Single
Jonteal Hasty

I'm just going to blatantly lay it out. Let you all know that I go through the struggle every day and there are simple reasons of why I will forever be single.

It has nothing to do with my looks because I know that I am a beautiful young woman. Men or should I say boys are intimidated by how beautiful a person like me actually is. I don't have to wear makeup, and I don't have to comb my hair and I don't have to dress up. You can see who I truly am at any point of the year. Yet boys usually choose the girl that hides behind her cover up because it is easier to accept the fake version of someone. It's hard to choose a girl like me who doesn't cover up. I highlight my flaws and make them a part of me.

Another reason is because of my personality. I'm not a "normal" girl. I don't do what other girls do or say what other girls say. I tell it how it is and no I will never hide who I truly am. You never know what you're going to get with me. One day I can be this calm and nice person and the next i'm bouncing off the walls and as blunt as ever. It's okay dudes, you will never be able to handle someone like me.

Lastly, my focus. It's real easy to let somebody step in front of your path and fog your future. You'll fall in awe over this person that says all the cute things you need to hear. Well, I won't. My eye is on the prize and nothing will stand in my way. So maybe I play a couple games with boys to entertain myself, but when the fun is over, it's always best to return to my work. A boy won't get me to my goals, only I will.

So maybe the biggest reason I am forever single is because of me. Maybe I'd rather wait for that one person to accept all my flaws, to appreciate all the beautiful I am, and not only fog my future, but be apart of my future.

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.
