Being Single In Your Early Twenties Is Ok And You Need To Know There Is Nothing Wrong With You

For me, being single didn't really bother me until I entered college. In high school, there were times where I wished that I was in a relationship, but those moments were rare and they quickly passed. Then I entered college. That's when I started to care more about being single, and being in a relationship.

There are times where I love being single. There are pros of being single. Then there are times where I hate being single and wished that I was in a relationship. Being in college, I am surrounded by people that are single and not single. Just like in high school. But unlike high school, people in college are getting engaged and married. So, always being surrounded by people who are in relationships, and getting married, makes being single hard.

There are times where I think; what is wrong with me? Why am I still single? Why is everyone else I know getting into relationships, and I'm not? And honestly, it sucks. But then there are times where I'm glad that I'm single.

It's a time to focus on yourself, whether it's studying, working out, eating, hanging out with friends, and so on. You can do whatever you want. You can be selfish with how you spend your time. You can focus on what you want, and what your priorities whether that's isn't school, project a work, or landing your dream car. You don't have to worry about balancing your time hanging out with your family, friends, and your boyfriend or girlfriend. So, pretty much, you have a ton of freedom and a lot more than what you would have you are in a relationship.

But don't get me wrong. Being in a relationship with someone isn't a bad thing either. There is a lot of pros about being in a relationship as well. Just like there are pros of being single. Some people would rather stay single while others want to be in a relationship. There is nothing wrong with you no matter what you decide.

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.
