What's Wrong With Me?

I've been single for so long now, is there something wrong with me?

What's Wrong With Me?
Gustave Caillebotte

I haven't been in a relationship for some time now so does this mean that I'll be single forever? I mean I'm nice, sweet, romantic, and I love Jesus. I can even play the ukulele, I'm the whole package right? Well I am ridiculously shy when I come remotely close to a girl I am attracted to, and if I do somehow talk to them, my weirdness and awkwardness seems to radiate from me. I should just face the facts, I'm going to be single forever and just own a Corgi farm.

There are a good number of people who have some variation of this mindset. So many people think to themselves, if they're single, that they have so much to offer so why doesn't anyone want them. If you don't have these thoughts and you could care less about relationships and being in one then good for you, but for those of you that have this problem, I just have one thing to say. Stop! Stop caring so much about being in a relationship and stop thinking that there's something wrong with you. This is coming from somebody that has struggled a lot with this. I've struggled with accepting myself and trusting God to put the right personin my life one of these daysso please listen to me when I say that there is nothing wrong with you, I promise.

You have so much to offer, everybody does. It doesn't matter how weird or awkward you may think you are, you'll find the one some day. The biggest thing that you have to do if you're struggling with all of this is to trust God. I know that may not seem like the answer you're looking for, but it's true. Maybe you aren’t in a relationship because God doesn’t think you're ready for one yet. God knows what's best for us and sometimes this means remaining single. Sometimes you have to stop focusing so much of your attention on trying to get into a relationship and focus on bettering yourself. Focus on your relationship with Christ and work on fixing things in your life that you may struggle with. I once heard that we need to stop spending so much time on looking for "the one" and spend our time preparing ourselves to be the one for our future spouse. This is how we need to live, we need to be preparing ourselves for whoever we're going to marry in the future. We need to stop spending so much time worrying about finding a relationship and questioning our worth based on whether or not we are in one or not. Jesus loves each and every one of us and there's nothing wrong with any of us. We are all unique and special in our own ways so be patient and trust God in everything, especially with relationships.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
