It’s simple (and very natural!) to get caught up in the desire to be with someone. Relationships, on the other hand, work best when you’re already at ease and secure in yourself. Being single is an excellent opportunity to build confidence and figure out who you are before entering into your next relationship.
It may be lonely to watch couples holding hands especially when the romantic holiday season is approaching. However, through time, we have heard many of the issues that come with marriage: arguments, unintentional pain, and conflicts of interest, to mention a few. “Marriage will not completely address any of our issues or longings.”
There is beauty in marriage and family, but we must learn to recognize that being single comes with certain power and freedom that marriage does not, and even for what it does allow, there are certain power and resilience that you must create as a single that helps you and provides you with a solid platform as a married person.
Singleness should be desirable, and we must learn to take full advantage of the chances and freedoms that come with it. This will definitely appear different in every one of our lives, but let the one thing that connects us be the empowerment we experience in singleness, rather than the dissatisfaction we accept as a result of other people’s perceptions of our single condition.
I don’t feel there is any room for regret in enjoying the freedom that singleness provides. But, more importantly, being single is your superpower since it is during these months or years that you discover what love is.
It is only when you are single that you know what true love is. You understand what it is to love yourself, not merely in connection to another person loving you or you loving them.
But, more importantly, you will not be sorry for demonstrating to yourself that your value was never about someone else. You will not be sorry if you declare that it will never be about someone else. It will always come down to you.
When you accept your single status, you embrace the potential to be the most human you can be. You become someone who pursues their desires, investigates their interests, and meets as many people as possible along the route in order to gain as many viewpoints as possible.
