Don't worry, your time will come. I know you've heard this before, but it's true.
You've been single as long as you can remember, or so it feels like it. You've had love before, just not the kind that ended up being a relationship, or maybe it did but since it's over, you feel you missed the boat. You're wondering why you ended things or vice versa. You begin to question yourself, Was I not good enough? What did I do wrong? Could I have said something to make him stay? or you question your motives on why you ended such a good thing, Am I afraid of commitment? Am I making up excuses not to be with him? Will there ever be another guy in the picture? And if so, when will that be? Because you're at the point where it sure doesn't feel like it.
You probably have a lot of friends who are in relationships. Steady relationships or not steady at all but they still have that person that loves them. Don't compare yourself to them. It might not of happened yet, but it will. Timing is everything.
I'm sure you've been broken down from heartache after heartache to the point where you can't breath. To the point where you feel as though you can't go on without that person. But you CAN. And you WILL. You will thank all of the other guys before your next one.
You've given pieces of yourself to those people whether you ended it or they did. You gave every person before this last one even more pieces because you didn't know better. But that doesn't even begin to matter at this point. You gave pieces to them that you will never get back and you're afraid to do it all over again, so you claim, 'I'm going to be single...forever.'
Don't you dare let that stop you from trying with the next person.
You won't be single forever, I guarentee that. Only you can make that choice for yourself.
Trust me, those before the next guy were just lessons. And I'm sure you're thinking, What if the next one isn't 'the one' either? Well, then you'll just have to be the judge on that. Whether that person is worth it or not.
After being single for quite some time, you'll realize that throughout all these relationships, you are growing yourself, you are figuring out how to be your own person and what to look for in that other person that is suppose to complete you.
And since you've gone through so many lessons, I trust your judgement on the next guy you decide to choose.
However, don't settle. Don't ever settle. If you want something so deep, so passionate, the stuff that people can write stories about, then stop at nothing to achieve that. This so called, 'one true love', exists whether you want to believe that or not. Love is precious, and yours will be to the next person. So don't give up. Don't lose hope.
The day you start questioning if love is worth it, is the day you WILL be forever single. So, stop.
Because the day you let love in again...it will be the best thing that ever happens to you.
