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 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!
