When I scroll through social media and talk to my friends, a recurring topic always makes an appearance: relationship status—or the lack of therefore.

Twitter and Instagram are filled with #relationshipgoals and #couplegoals. Facebook is filled with all your friends becoming official and getting engaged. Pinterest might as well have a separate app dedicated to wedding boards.

When surrounded by non-stop relationship talk and imagery, it's no wonder why many of my conversations turn to "Why can't I find someone?" or "I'm tired of waiting for the right person." I'm 19-years-old, my friends are around my age and they constantly bring up the fact that they don't have a significant other to complete them. When did it become a burden for a young woman to be single?

The scariest part of this is that many just want someone. They don't care if it's the right guy or even a nice guy—as long as it's a guy who gives them attention. They expect to feel complete once they're in a relationship.

When young individuals are taught to receive attention and acceptance from others then it can turn into a life of constantly seeking that one person to solidify that they're loved.

I'm not one to say I've never been the same. Heck, I'm still the same sometimes. But every girl and boy needs to learn that another person will never complete them. The one person that can make you feel better at the end of the day is you. The one person who will always love you, needs to be you.

Everyone wants love and wants it to last forever. And it can if you love yourself.

This isn't to say you should look at couples and doubt their love or say how much better it is being single. Hope those people are with the right person and trust that the Lord will send your right person to you when you are ready to receive that love.

Until that person comes, remember to enjoy being single and to do the most on your own. If you listen to God and your heart, then this could be the last time you get to be single. Make memories with friends and grow on your own. While you're enjoying the single life make sure to show people that it's okay to be #singlegoals.
