Why I Am Okay With Being Single For Right Now

"Being Single Is Only Sad If You Have A Problem With Your Own Company. I'm Content With Mine." Olga Kurylenko

I have been single for most of my life. I only dated one guy in my whole life. He was an amazing guy who I never talk to anymore. It just did not work out, he was going back to Hawaii and I was going to be in Ohio. He taught me so much about myself, and what it should be like when guys like you.

I am not saying that I have not been on dates with other guys; however, I have not found the person I want to end up with. I might've of already have, but I don't know. Love takes time. I am not scared to be in a relationship; however, I am content with being by myself until it finds me.

People might think I am crazy for saying all of this because they probably want a boyfriend or a love life. Don't get me wrong, I like some guys right now, but it does not mean I want to date right now. A lot has happen to me last three years that I am not ready to date.

It taken me almost four years to be in love with my life, and myself. I am sorry to say it will have to take a really good guy who has to be patience, sweet, funny, and understanding that I am not going to date around. I am looking for that one person.

I don't believe in dating just to date. I am actually one of those girls who wants to the date the "one". I am not saying that I am not going to go on dates with others. But, I am scared of what could happen.

I am one of those girls who seem so confident, who knows what they want, and has it all put together; however, that is not the case with me.

I am one of the most sensitive person when it comes to guy. I care way too much what a guy I like thinks of me. It hurts when I cannot figure out why they do not like me.

So in this time right now, I am trying not to be that way. I am trying to figure out for myself what I want in life, in love, and in general. I am not scared not to date right now.

I keep thinking how I have three and half years of schooling left to go, well more exact, five and half years because of getting my masters. Maybe I will be one of those people who gets settle in their career and find love after I get my career all worked out?

However, that is okay. In a weird way, I am not ready to settle down in my early 20s. I am not saying it is a bad thing to find your love of life right now. Some of my good friends are married or even have children with their love of their lives. I could not be happier for them.

One day, I want to have that with my love of my life, but for right now, I am okay with being single. To be quite honest, it is gonna take a great guy to date me. Who knows it could happen this year, five years from now, or even, in my thirties. But for right now, I am happy being single. But for now, I have an amazing family and a great friend group to get me through.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
