An Open Letter To The Girl Who Has Never Had A Boyfriend

An Open Letter To The Girl Who Has Never Had A Boyfriend

To the girls who have never had a boyfriend, whose longest relationship was a whopping two months, or whose only boyfriend was that boy in the fifth grade and you guys hugged between classes and went on group dates to the movies…

Ladies, this letter is for you.

So you have pretty much been single forever and there will probably be times that you doubt your worth. You might think you aren’t pretty enough, funny enough, or popular enough. Or maybe you find yourself comparing yourself to other girls, the ones with boyfriends. Maybe you are wondering what you are doing wrong, and why you can’t find a guy.

Well I’m here to tell you to stop. Seriously. Stop comparing and stop trying to determine what is wrong with you. Because you are enough. You. Are. Enough. Your worth is not determined by your relationship status.

Being single is okay. Actually, it's more than okay. It’s awesome. Being single gives you independence; it gives you time to find yourself--to count on yourself and to love yourself as well.

You can’t get caught up on being single. Because if you were meant to be with someone, you would be with them right now.

The guy that stopped talking to you for no good reason? Good riddance.

The guy who didn’t want anything with you, but pursued something with someone else? Pick your head up, because you weren’t right for each other.

The boy that was basically in love with you, but you just didn’t feel the same? Good for you for knowing what you want and not leading him on.

Just because someone shows interest, doesn’t mean it’s right.

Always know the difference between the idea of someone and the actual person.

The right guy that you are waiting for? He will come.

But stop waiting, and start living.

In the middle of you living your life, he’ll find himself into it.

Maybe he’ll come tomorrow, maybe it’ll be in a few months or maybe it won’t be until many years down the road.

But it will happen when it’s right, trust me on that.

You are a young, beautiful single girl who is having the time of her life and can’t be stopped by anyone or anything. You are full of ambition, life and so much freaking love. You are doing your thing, you are making some mistakes, and you are having a lot of fun.

You are wild, you are carefree, and you are your own kind of perfect.

Remember that.

Love,

A fellow (happy) single gal.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
