The reason you think you’re single isn’t the same reason you’re actually single.

“

Being single doesn’t make me a late bloomer. There is no timeline when it comes to love. Everyone moves at their own pace.

“

You feel like you aren’t supposed to feel lonely. You feel like you’re not allowed to complain about being single because it would make you look weak and insecure and needy.

“

FOMO fools us into believing we are the only ones left who haven’t gotten into a serious relationship in our twenties, who are still swiping on Tinder, who are still living alone (or with our parents).

“

I know who you are, you’re the girl who’s sitting on her bed right now probably thinking how you’re going to be alone forever.

“

You should not stubbornly stay single when you are interested in someone. You should not keep your guard high because you are worried about getting hurt.

“

I have still so much to do. So much to see. So many more people to meet and people to love and adore. I have so much more exploring to do. Exploring myself, figuring out what makes my heart race or slow down. I have so much to learn about me. So much to grasp onto and to soak up what life has to give me. 

“

Okay, I’m just gonna say what we’re all thinking: Putting yourself out there is scary.

“

Maybe I understand that being on my own does not make me lonely.

Dealing with the wrong love has taught about what’s she’s actually looking for.
