To the ladies that have been single for so long they start to settle,

This one is for you!

I have always been that girl in the friends group that has never had a boyfriend, and I'm not talking about those high school ones that only lasted a couple months. Meanwhile, mostly all of my friends have had long relationships that seem to be perfect. Then there is you, sitting there alone wondering what is wrong with yourself.

But stop. Don't go there. Nothing is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with being single.

Being single is great. It gives you freedom and independence. It allows you to find yourself and love yourself. It allows you to go out and do whatever you want without someone holding you back. It allows you to be adventurous. Most importantly it allows yourself to be YOU!

Even though being single is great, it comes a time where you just don't seem good enough. You start questioning yourself. Am I pretty enough? Am I popular enough? Am I funny enough? Yes, yes, and yes. You are pretty, you are popular, and you are funny.

Don't ever settle because you've been single for so long. You will end up meeting some guy who doesn't make you smile, and who doesn't give you butterflies, but you will think he is the one. You will fall for guys who would have never came through your radar.

You start to learn to just live through the numbness. You listen to what those dumb guys say about you. You start telling yourself lies. But it has to stop!

Being single is okay. It's actually great!

The perfect man for you will come around, even if it's a month or a year down the road.
