To The Girl Who Hasn't Been In Love Yet

30
To The Girl Who Hasn't Been In Love Yet
Taylor Anne Pace

This letter is written to all the girls/women in the world that have not fallen in love yet in this particular point in time of their life.

I'm just going to start off by saying it's okay. That's right, it is okay. It is okay that you haven't fallen in love before. It is okay that you haven't found the "right person". You still have time.

Most people are nervous that if they haven't found their soul mate yet then they are going to be alone forever and that is obviously not true. You will find your one true love some time. You might meet him in your 20's or 30's. Or you might meet him after you divorced the guy that didn't respect you. You have no idea when you will meet him and that is okay. God is molding the man or woman; your significant other; just for you. He knows who to put you with. He knows who will appreciate you, who will love you like no other person has in the world. He molds the person who will be there for you when you are down, and to bring you up to the highest of highs when you need it. Have faith. Believe that He has a plan for you.

While you're waiting for God to throw that person at you head first, think of this time as a retreat. Sort of like a time to reflect. When you're single you are the most independent. Yes, you are still independent when you date, get engaged and marry someone, but when you are single you find your true self. You discover who you truly are.

You get to go out and go wherever you want to go. If your girlfriends want to go on a spontaneous trip to Michigan for the weekend, you're all for it.

You can travel. You can go do a back packing trip through Europe. Explore! Adventure! Experience everything that the world has to offer. Who knows maybe you can tell some of your stories of your travels on a first date.

You can watch couples. See what their struggles are, examine what it really looks like to be in a committed relationship. You will be shown that a relationship isn't a big fairy tale. You will struggle and fight, but the point is that you and your partner will get through those struggles and how you both come out of those situations will strengthen the love you have.

You can be picky. Learn this word: No. It is a very important word and you will need it in tricky situations or just any situations. Don't settle. Take time. Take time to find someone that treats you with respect. Find the person that loves you for who you truly are, no matter what.

Experience life. Take that trip. Realize that you don't need a man. Buy that house. Buy that dog. Just live.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
