If you live a life anything like mine then your family probably constantly nags you about relationships. Are you talking to anyone? Do you have a boyfriend? Do you plan on getting married? Are you putting yourself out there? Well if you answered yes to any of these questions then that's where we differ.
I don't want a relationship.
I'm already struggling to balance school work with my sleep schedule. I applaud anyone that finds time to fit a relationship into their busy lives. I for one just don't have the time, nor do I have any interest in making the time.
A lot of my friends bounce from relationship to relationship. If they're single for more than a few hours you better be calling 911 because they're going to have a stroke. They think they need a relationship to be happy. Wrong. I love being single. I love not having to go put on three pounds of makeup so I can send the perfect Snapchat to my boyfriend. I love not having to make plans with someone when all I want to do is put on my pajamas and sleep the night away. I love the feeling of being able to not look at my phone for three hours without any consequences. I love being able to stare at hot guys without any guilt. I love the freedom you have when you're single.
Right now I'm living in a state of me time. Relationships come with a lot of compromises and I'm just not ready to sacrifice my wants and needs for someone else. It's not being selfish. It's called pursuing self-love. I want to eat what I want. I want to drive where I want. I want to talk to who I want. I want to sleep when I want. I want to do whatever the hell I feel like doing without having to answer to anyone. I'm not concerned with making anyone else happy besides myself.
I don't want to depend on anyone to make me happy. I don't want any more responsibilities added to my plate. I don't want to spend money on anyone I might break up within two weeks. I don't want to have to worry about what my boyfriend is doing 24/7. I don't want the worry of falling for someone that isn't prepared to catch me. I don't want any more heartbreaks.
It's quite simple. I DONT WANT A BOYFRIEND. So stop asking.
If you have the time and the need to be in a relationship then, by all means, be my guest. I just have no interest in the idea of dating right now. One day am I going to want someone to love? Absolutely. But as for right now, I'll continue living the single life and loving every single minute of it.
