We live in a world where if you’re single (or not at least actively hooking up with someone) something is wrong with you. Why is that? I say we change that. I want to make a new movement that celebrates what being single actually is. Just because you’re not joined at the hip with someone doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you- I think it could mean the exact opposite.
Think of all of the toxic relationships that you see around you. You could be in one of those, you know. Dealing with the up’s and down’s, the painful fights, the jealousy, etc. But you’re not! So kudos to you! Celebrate your self-control.
Being single can really suck. You’re lonely. You get sad sometimes. You have bad days and wish you had a special someone to rub your shoulders and tell you how pretty you are and that tomorrow will be better. Sometimes it’s hard to look beyond that you don’t have that, but you know what? You got through that bad day, that run in with your ex, or that song/smell that reminded you of someone that you loved all by your strong ass self.
If that isn’t something to be celebrated, than I don’t know what is. Being single is this magical time to do anything you want without thinking about the repercussions it could have on someone else. It’s a time to show everyone that you can live a life without leaning on someone else, but rather stand on your own two feet, planted firmly on the ground.
So don’t stress if you’re single for whatever the period of time has been. Try to be proud of it. Keep your head up and keep on running. Show the world what you’re made of, all by your beautiful self.
