What's Wrong with Being Single?
There is nothing wrong with being single. Like I've said in my previous blogs...being in a relationship doesn't have to define who you are. My single friends are constantly struggling with the social mores of today's world that says being single makes you less of a human being.
It's not true! There are benefits to being single.. just like there are benefits to being a relationship. Honestly, I think that you have to feel comfortable being single before you can be confident being a couple. When you know who you are without the presence of someone else, you may find it easier to stay true to yourself.
Sometimes you're given a choice to be single or not. I admire those friends who have chosen to remain single because they are waiting for a great guy. High standards can be something that drives people away...but for those who walk away from a girl with high standards - you don't know what you are missing. Would you want a gf who is with you because she has lowered her standards!?
I like to think that my standards are really high and I wouldn't date someone who didn't meet those standards. And I believe that because my standards are high, I don't expect less from myself in a relationship. Never settle for anything less... and never give less than everything.
The right person comes along when you least expect it... nobody is impossible to love.
