What's Wrong With Me?

I've been single for so long now, is there something wrong with me?

What's Wrong With Me?
Gustave Caillebotte

I haven't been in a relationship for some time now so does this mean that I'll be single forever? I mean I'm nice, sweet, romantic, and I love Jesus. I can even play the ukulele, I'm the whole package right? Well I am ridiculously shy when I come remotely close to a girl I am attracted to, and if I do somehow talk to them, my weirdness and awkwardness seems to radiate from me. I should just face the facts, I'm going to be single forever and just own a Corgi farm.

There are a good number of people who have some variation of this mindset. So many people think to themselves, if they're single, that they have so much to offer so why doesn't anyone want them. If you don't have these thoughts and you could care less about relationships and being in one then good for you, but for those of you that have this problem, I just have one thing to say. Stop! Stop caring so much about being in a relationship and stop thinking that there's something wrong with you. This is coming from somebody that has struggled a lot with this. I've struggled with accepting myself and trusting God to put the right personin my life one of these daysso please listen to me when I say that there is nothing wrong with you, I promise.

You have so much to offer, everybody does. It doesn't matter how weird or awkward you may think you are, you'll find the one some day. The biggest thing that you have to do if you're struggling with all of this is to trust God. I know that may not seem like the answer you're looking for, but it's true. Maybe you aren’t in a relationship because God doesn’t think you're ready for one yet. God knows what's best for us and sometimes this means remaining single. Sometimes you have to stop focusing so much of your attention on trying to get into a relationship and focus on bettering yourself. Focus on your relationship with Christ and work on fixing things in your life that you may struggle with. I once heard that we need to stop spending so much time on looking for "the one" and spend our time preparing ourselves to be the one for our future spouse. This is how we need to live, we need to be preparing ourselves for whoever we're going to marry in the future. We need to stop spending so much time worrying about finding a relationship and questioning our worth based on whether or not we are in one or not. Jesus loves each and every one of us and there's nothing wrong with any of us. We are all unique and special in our own ways so be patient and trust God in everything, especially with relationships.

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.
