Maybe I’m just being more and more aware of it, but everyone around me is starting to get tied down, or if not tied down, they’re talking to someone. And I have three words: I don’t care. You do you. Meet them however you want to meet them, spend however much time you want to spend with them. I’m genuinely happy for you, and I wish you the best. All I know is I don’t need to hear about your "bae" 24-7, but more importantly, your status of being taken does not mean I need to be taken also.

I’m working on myself. I want to be the best person I can possibly be. I have so many goals and dreams to accomplish and I’m on such a fast road that I don’t have time for little things that don't matter to me right now. I have the rest of my life to spend every second with my future significant other.

I’d rather worry about myself first than someone else. I don’t want to have to constantly wonder what “bae” is doing and what he’s thinking and how he feels about me. Instead, I could devote that precious time on bettering myself in every aspect possible. I can improve on my work, my mindset on things, my style, the cleanliness of my room, etc.

I will not let anyone have control over my happiness, unless you are one of my closest friends or family members. That’s all I have to say.

It’s one less heartbreak. I don’t know what heartbreak truly feels like, nor do I really want to know. But trusting my friends on their experiences, I know it’s never pleasant and it’s hard to get over. As much as I value my feelings, heartbreak is just as easy to prevent when I’m not in a relationship. I don’t want to deal with it, especially with all the other things that I want to focus on.

I’m greedy. I’m extremely happy and proud of where my life is right now. I want the credit all to myself. And I don’t want to share my success with anyone but myself. I proved how capable I am of anything without anyone’s help and that’s what’s keeping me going.

Don’t get me wrong, I long for another person to spend time with, but I know I can’t go looking for love. It will happen when it happens. For the time being, I’ll be here working on myself.
