This Is The Reason You're Single

It's not the reason you think.

This Is The Reason You're Single
Stocksnap.io

You're single because it's just not your time, it's that simple.

There is nothing wrong with you, stop picking yourself apart. It's honestly that simple, right now you're meant to be alone. You're meant to spend time with your friends and family, but most of all you're meant to spend time with yourself.

You're meant to take yourself on dates. Meant to watch crappy romcoms by yourself and meant to focus on your own future right now.

You aren't single because you skipped the party, or stayed home when your friends wanted to take you out. You aren't single because you spoke to loud or voiced your opinions. Why should you silence yourself for a man's sake?

Don't fall for that bullshit sweetheart.

You aren't single because you sing too loud and off key, for focusing on your grades or for working long hours to pay the bills. You aren't single because you made out with some guy when you swore you'd stay sober that night.

You aren't single because you went back to him even after he broke you and you aren't single because you chose to leave again. I'm still proud that you chose yourself.

You aren't single for being too passionate, too loud, too involved, too caring, too guarded, too opinionated, or too loving.

You aren't single because you're not more like her. It was honestly his lost.

You are single because you are single.

It truly is that simple.

You did nothing wrong, it's just not your time. So my darling, please focus on yourself right now. You won't be single forever, even if it feels that way now. Live this life for yourself because one day you will have someone else to focus on and there will be days that you will miss when you could be selfishly single.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
