So many times I find myself asking my friends and family "What's wrong with me?" or "Why am I not good enough?" time after time. I always feel sad when I see girl admiring her boyfriend or a boy slowing down just to hold his girlfriend's hand and wonder, why isn't that me?
I always overthink myself to death when it comes to relationships and wondering if I will ever find 'the one.' But the truth is, I always forget that it's all in God's timing, not mine. The more I realize this, the more I become okay with being single and try to become more content with who I am. You don't need a boyfriend to be happy, your happiness should only be dependent on you. Love will come in time, and to love someone else is to love yourself first and to be happy with your own company. My happiness used to be so reliant on someone else's feelings and emotions towards me, until I finally realized that that wasn't going to get me anywhere.
It's okay to be upset when the guy you like doesn't text you back, or if things just don't work out regardless of the circumstances, because everything happens for a reason. Finding true love is a trial and error process, it doesn't happen over night. You'll go through relationships as well as hardships and a lot of heartbreak, but remember there is a man out there the God has designed just for you, and you'll meet him soon enough. Remember that you're young still, you're beautiful and smart and so many wonderful things and you don't need a man to tell you that. It's easier said than done, but I promise you when you find him, it'll be worth it.
Everyone needs to do some soul searching to figure out who they are and what they want, and when you do that, everything else just seems to fall into place. So please don't get down on yourself if you don't have a guy to talk to or a date 24/7, everything takes time. Just remind yourself that there is someone out there for you who will come into your life when the timing is right.
