Dear Single Ladies,

Being alone can be depressing, lonely and discouraging. However, being alone also gives you the opportunity to discover yourself. When you learn more about who you are as a person without anyone else it means you will not loose yourself should you find yourself in a relationship.

Why is it important to know who you are? Because you learn what you want and what is important to you. When you understand what makes you happy and what doesn't, it will make any relationship easier.

Sometimes you have to have experiences or relationships that don't go well in order to learn from them. Don't have any regrets because every moment is a learning moment. When you look back, it might take some time, you should realize that you learned at least one thing whether that was about someone else or about yourself.

The classic rule that you have to take care of yourself before you can help others applies here too. By knowing who you are at the start of a relationship you automatically increase the chances of it ending success.

Optimism is key while being single. Being brave and adventurous is also vital. Without these things you will never find someone. You might think and stress that you won't find someone. Guess what -- it isn't the end of the world to be alone! Eventually, you will find someone if you don't loose hope and keep trying. Never be afraid of trying.

You are never truly alone because you have friends and family. Of course they do not fill the void of being single, but they can make it easier. You have a support system that will talk you through the bad relationships, the times when you are alone and be there the day you find the one.

This is all probably cliche and cheesy, but it can also be helpful. Don't ever be afraid to be yourself. There more you open up to others about who you are the more confident you will become in who you are.

Sincerely,

A Single Lady
