It’s so easy to just go through the motions in your 20s. You graduate, get a good job, save up for a place, travel the world, find someone to marry and then eventually settle down. Right?
Not always, life has a way of surprising us, sometimes in pleasant ways, and sometimes in temporarily painful ones. You may find yourself wanting something other than a romantic relationship right now, or you may be shocked that you’ve come to the end of a romance you thought would last forever.
Whether you’re single and “ready to mingle” or single and “not looking” right now, this time in your life is precious. It’s a great time to focus on who you are, what you want, and what you want out of a future relationship.
Romance takes a lot out of us. It affects our minds, our souls, our moods and even our bodies. Relationships also take up a lot of time, and after you hit 20, life begins to accelerate faster than it ever.
So when you put it all into perspective, you really see why singleness isn’t so bad. Of course, there are risks in everything. Take them, but think about what you have to loose in the process.
For the not-looking’s, wait until you really want a relationship. It may not be the most common way of doing things, but there may be an undiscovered calling you still have to fulfill. Who knows? You may meet your person doing just that.
It’s also not really fair to lead someone on because you’re bored in your intentional “not looking” period. Be honest, and if it’s really meant to be, they may still be available after your time of singleness is over.
In the same way, there could be an undiscovered calling, there could be a few character knots that need to be untangled before we let someone else in, something else that many of us can feel in our gut. You do not have to be perfect, because human perfection does not exist, but you can choose to be your best self.
For the ready-to-mingle’s, don’t have unrealistic standards, but don’t settle either. We usually know in our souls when we’ve met someone we could see ourselves with long-term. Don’t force yourself to like someone because of some non-existent relational clock or a false notion of scarcity.
You deserve a lifetime of true and honest happiness, and we believe in this for you! Stay strong during your single years! Treat yourself to some fresh flowers and learn to enjoy your own company.
