Don't get me wrong being single is fun but everyone needs someone especially when you're matured enough to handle a relationship
i feel lucky enough to have experienced love, and it's great. The best. But it didn't work out. Maybe it'll happen again, maybe not, but I want to make the most out of whatever time I have here cultivating the existing relationships I have with my family and friends, serving God, seeing the world, and collecting great experiences.
Perhaps I don't have the 2.5 kids and the white picket fence, but I'm about to turn 30 with a tiny apartment I love, a sweet little dog, plans to visit 2 countries this year, hopefully more next year, and the flexibility to engage in my many, perpetually evolving interests. it's may not be the traditional life plan for many folks, but I'm more than okay with it
Remember when you were young and couldn't wait to grow up and do whatever the heck you wanted? (Which admittedly might have entailed staying up all night reading, watching cartoons, and eating a lot of potato chips) This is it! You're grown up! You dont need permission to do things! Exclamation points!
Does it get lonely sometimes? Absolutely. I'd be lying if I said no. It would be nice if I didn't have to be my own cheerleader all the time. But I'm not willing to compromise on the love I want for the sake of being in a relationship and I'm not willing to waste valuable time waiting in a locked tower for a prince.
I think I shared this on here once, but just something to consider:
