There are times in your life where you’re in between relationships. Sadly, most women have been taught to aspire for that fairy tale ending. Sadly, real life gets in the way, and in the end, you find yourself flying solo. Whenever you get together with someone you haven’t in years, you always get asked about your love life. Do you have a boyfriend? And if you answer no, they immediately assume that you’re picky. But what’s wrong with being picky? You’re entitled to choose the person you could be with for the rest of your life. No one should ever settle if they want a chance at happiness. So if flying solo for now is what you need, then be proud about where you are now in life.
Society expects a woman’s life to be much like those tales from long ago: boy and girl meet, fall deeply in love, and live happily ever after. After all, the girls in the fairy tales you grew up with always ended up with the man of their dreams. Some people just expect you to get married and actively look for that man who will eventually give you the family you’ll be nurturing. Basically, a single person is a lonely person. Little do these narrow-minded individuals realize that the number of unattached women is rising. Of course, this isn’t to say that this is a much better choice. Not at all! It’s more on being happy with who you are and being okay about where life brings you.
If you put your career first, then do so. At least you know that once you’ve settled down, you’ve lived your life to the fullest. There’s just so much in life you have yet to see, and sometimes, it’s better that you go through the stages on your own. You learn independence, and you’ll also get to realize that you are capable of taking care of yourself. Nonetheless, finding satisfaction in single-blessedness isn’t always easy. It gets even harder when society expects so much from you. It may also be due to that fact that people have romanticized the whole thing. Just remember that you entered the world on your own, and you can thrive in it on your own as well.
There are plus and bonuses to wherever you are in life. When you’re married, you always have someone to come home to, always have that person who cares for you more than anyone else. When your single, you don’t need to worry about anyone else when you make decisions, and when you go out and enjoy yourself, you don’t feel guilty about doing what you want. There’s just so much to do either way, and when you’re okay with where you are, people will get to see that confident person living her life to the fullest. Just be in control with who you are and know that life still has a few surprises up in its sleeve just for you. In time, you’ll see that when you don’t have regrets, you have a life well lived.
