Relationship= Prison, Single Life= Freedom and Independence JK!
The Hopeless Romantic
Sometimes I can be such a hopeless romantic. Even though I don't believe in fate, I do think it is rare to find someone you're really really compatible with and when you find that person.... you should definately take advantage of that opportunity. Meeting that person could be the greatest thing that ever happened to you. Don't let it pass you by and don't take it for granted. Give all that you can and of course, never regret that.
The Individualist
Sometimes I can be such an individualist. I want to find my faults, change, grow, and work towards who I want to be. I want to be strong, independent, and be able to be content on my own. I want to develop my morals and my character. I want to think outside the box and look at the big picture. I want to learn. I want to explore. I want to focus on personal goals. I want to become who I want to be and I feel like this is easier to achieve alone. I do realize that you learn and grow so much when you're in a relationship, but you have the rest of your life to be with someone and only this time to be totally self absorbed and do what you want and need freely. I like who I am very much, but I want to be better. This is very important to me.
What I Love about Being Single
When you're single, you have so much time and thought dedicated to yourself and your goals. It's such a wonderful and beautiful feeling to be in love with someone and think about that special person all the time and have your feelings reciprocated, but there's always that thought in the back of my mind of all the goals that I've already set for myself and how I don't work on those anymore. always wishing for more time. There are things that I miss and love about being single. I love to spend more time with old friends or meeting new people. I love enjoying a lot of things by myself. I love when my mind is occupied by goals that I want to accomplish and when I'm really motivated to do those things. I love when those goals are complete and feeling proud of myself. I like when I'm not overcriticizing myself like I do when I'm with someone. I like liking myself and not feeling like I need to compromise attributes that I actually value about myself, because it's not as acceptable to someone else. And when I'm ready for a relationship, I miss just being a girl and dreaming about the perfect guy. I miss being excited about knowing that he is out there somewhere and that someday..maybe today.. we will meet. lol..how very girly of me. It's okay though..being a girl is so fun sometimes =).
But all these things aren't worth losing someone that means so much to me just so I can be a little more selfish and self absorbed...a little more carefree. Relationships aren't easy and I didn't expect it to be anything less. I spent so much space and time writing about the benefits about being single, but in the end, I am truly a hopeless romantic at heart. Repeat first paragraph.
