Being Single

Being single does not mean you are weak, it means you are strong enough to wait for what you deserve.



There are other bad and sad things than being Single. Why has being single become a social stigma. Why are people scared and terrified of being alone and want to get desperately into relationships. Fear of being single may drive people to stay in bad relationships or settle for less-than-desirable partners, all because they'd rather have someone than no one.  That is the worst reason to stay committed.

Being in a relationship is a full time job. Relationship needs a lot of nurturing and catering. It takes time, energy, attention, resources and at the end of the day we need to be understood, appreciated and respected. It is very important to be in a relationship for right reasons. Healthy and happy relationships are fulfilling. Being Single helps you define your individualism and your partner does not define you. You are fulfilled by your dreams, choices, hopes , aspirations and not by relationship status. It is good to have inspiration, a cheer squad in the corner and a complex and challenging partner, but it is not desperately needed. There is nothing thrilling about a needy relationship that requires constant validation. 
Life is too short to be with the wrong people and wallowing in regret. There is no point compromising your self-worth, self-esteem for someone who isn’t deserving. Being in a wrong relationship stifle and deter you from being at your best. Your happiness should be controlled and determined by you and not someone else.

Being alone and loving yourself is one of the most remarkable relationships there can be. You value, discover and learn to adore yourself. These elements are significant to your growth as an individual. Maybe you have to be selfish to attain this growth, but along the way you will find out that it is necessary to validate your relationship status… And that should ONLY be with the right person.

Before being into a relationship with someone, it is very important to have a relationship with yourself. Having healthy and fulfilling friendships, Being in touch with what you want that will make you happy, not settling for less than you deserve, taking new opportunities to learn and grow, explore new things ,trying new food, travel ,feel connected and adventurous, meet new people.
The minute you settle for less than you deserve you get even less than you settled for. Stop going for douche bags and douchettes. How come one realize that this is one person for you? This question has been hovering over my mind almost every time. But then it is a matter of your gut instincts. It is when someone makes you feel worthy of your love, time, devotion, self - respect, friendship and commitment ,when someone inspires you , when that person encourages you to follow your dreams and helps you fly , grow and evolve, does not force you to change , embraces your quirks, you love and accept yourself , you feel more empowered  and competent in dealing with the challenges life throws at you, makes you feel complete and love yourself. You will just know. It’s just a hunch. 

Your heart is a very precious, respect it and be respected. Know your value and don’t accept being treated in a way less than you deserve. I will just end with the fabulous quote of sex and city “But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous”.
