I have decided to do a
30 day blogging challenge, to bring some creativity and spark into my life. As
I mentioned on Thursday, I quit my full time job last week to pursue a career
in my field of study. My life is changing and evolving a lot faster than I thought
it would ever. I decided that it would be fun to do this
challenge for the month of October to help me keep the creative juices
following as I continue to adapt to the changes in my life.
The term #foreveralone
I went on Urban
Dictionary and there are several
definitions of the term “forever alone”. I thought that I would share my top
three.
1.
“An
individual who will never have a boyfriend/girlfriend and will never get married, most likely spend of
their time on the internet or making faces and/or noises to themselves. This
person will probably have one real friend and die with 32 cats.”
2.
“Being so incompatible
with the rest of humanity that you will never find anyone willing to date you.”
3.
“Being
single”
Honestly I’m not 100%
where I fit in with those definitions, but I know I’m somewhere. I think that
#2 is probably the most like me. In the
post I wrote last week to my ex-boyfriend, I mentioned how emotionally
damaged I am from my relationship with him. At the age of 23, I feel as though
I am growing through the phase where all of my friends are either getting into
a serious relationship or are too wine drunk to even remember their names.
Why I’m Okay With Being Single
I actually had this
discussion with one of my friends a few weeks ago. I feel like I’ve been in a
relationship, or had a fling with someone since 16. I haven’t really had any
flings since my ex and I broke up in February. I’ve gone on a few dates but nothing
has ever really turned into something more.
Right now, I’m 23 and
focusing my ambitions on being a #girlboss. The term girl boss came from the
bestselling book, Girl Boss. A #girlboss is also known as an ambitionista, who
is someone driven to succeed in her career. At 23, I scored my dream job even
if it is only part-time. Next goal is full time, but that’s a work in progress…
right?
With that being said,
I am so career driven that I think that a gentleman in my life may hold me
back. Right now, I’d be content with packing up and moving across the country
for a job I wanted badly enough. I know that depending on the situation that I
was in, I couldn’t. I had that dilemma when I wanted to apply for university in
Newfoundland but I was in a serious relationship. I don’t want to have to make
that choice again.
Five Reasons I’m Comfortable with
Being Single
I read this
Thought Catalog article when writing my post, and I instantly fell in love with
it. I thought I would share my five favourites from the post.
1.
“When
someone asks about your relationship status, you answer honestly without
batting an eye, because you don’t see anything embarrassing about being alone
in a couple-filled world.”
2.
“Your
calendar is always full: vacations, breakfast/lunch/dinner with old friends,
movie date with your siblings or friends, seminars and other important
activities outside work/school.”
3.
“You
forgot how it is to be dating or be in a relationship. How many times do you
need to send them messages? Which decisions do you need to consult with them?
Do they need to know where you’re going for lunch and what you’re having?”
4.
“Your
heart goes out to those who are afraid to be alone and wish they’ll someday see
the light and embrace singleness.”
5.
“You’re
not bitter about your failed relationships anymore. You are actually grateful
that they ended. If it didn’t, you wouldn’t be this happy right now.”
My single lady playlist
Honestly, throw in
Sorry by Beyonce and this playlist would be my life motto right now. Nothing
feels better to me that sitting with a glass of wine and playing with my cat or
having a dance party to this playlist.
I’m okay with being
alone. I needed to be alone, I needed this experience. I am so blessed for the
relationships that I have had, they’ve thought me so much. I cannot wait to
continue to grow as a human being and maybe I will find someone but I’m not
sitting around worrying about it.
What’s your relationship status? Are you okay
with it?
