Reasons I Am Single

and I've never been happier

30
Reasons I Am Single
Jonteal Hasty

I'm just going to blatantly lay it out. Let you all know that I go through the struggle every day and there are simple reasons of why I will forever be single.

It has nothing to do with my looks because I know that I am a beautiful young woman. Men or should I say boys are intimidated by how beautiful a person like me actually is. I don't have to wear makeup, and I don't have to comb my hair and I don't have to dress up. You can see who I truly am at any point of the year. Yet boys usually choose the girl that hides behind her cover up because it is easier to accept the fake version of someone. It's hard to choose a girl like me who doesn't cover up. I highlight my flaws and make them a part of me.

Another reason is because of my personality. I'm not a "normal" girl. I don't do what other girls do or say what other girls say. I tell it how it is and no I will never hide who I truly am. You never know what you're going to get with me. One day I can be this calm and nice person and the next i'm bouncing off the walls and as blunt as ever. It's okay dudes, you will never be able to handle someone like me.

Lastly, my focus. It's real easy to let somebody step in front of your path and fog your future. You'll fall in awe over this person that says all the cute things you need to hear. Well, I won't. My eye is on the prize and nothing will stand in my way. So maybe I play a couple games with boys to entertain myself, but when the fun is over, it's always best to return to my work. A boy won't get me to my goals, only I will.

So maybe the biggest reason I am forever single is because of me. Maybe I'd rather wait for that one person to accept all my flaws, to appreciate all the beautiful I am, and not only fog my future, but be apart of my future.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
