Lets Face It, Your Single & Thriving

So here we are, 22 and single. Out of all of my friends that I graduated High-School with they thought I would be the first to settle down. marry and start a family. How wrong were they, because out of the four of us, I am indeed the only one who is single and not in a serious relationship, and no child. Blessing, ehh yes? I can admit though, Courtney is thriving as she is becoming and growing as a young mother, and her son Jackson is precious. I applaud her, but mostly I admire her and hope I can be half the mother one day that she is already becoming.

I'm not sure why our generation seems to find being "single" so depressing? Why does it have to be lonely? Why is it, when we tell someone we are single, only two outcomes are possible. Outcome A:"Oh why, your such a great girl, you'll find the perfect guy one day" My response Is why thank you Tiffany, I know I'm a great girl, scratch that I'm a damn 10 out of 10, great girl my ass. Or we have the legendary Outcome B: "Yeah, screw relationships, I don't want to be tide down, I just want to have fun" Okay hold up Josh, No girl is tying you down, in fact its the other way around when boys just become as crazy as some females out there. I am not judging the crazy girls, I understand it must be a rough life and something made you crazy.T-god.

I am here to tell you ladies and gentleman, being single is not as bad as what the evil couples that are madly in love make it out to be. I'll admit, I am a hopeless romantic, Im soon to be studying English lit, how can I not be a romantic? But there is a fine line that I have drawn and I refuse to cross it. Don't get attached to early & stop overthinking everything.

I think I am thriving at this point in my life. I have nothing holding me back, to do whatever makes me happy. I think the most important relationship we can have with anyone is the one with ourselves. I say this, and I want to make it clear that you have to fall in love with yourself before you fall in love with anyone else. Because if you don't love yourself, how can someone else come along and love you? Or even attempt to love you. I don't know.
