Being “single” is cringeworthy to some, unbelievable to others, unbearable to those who think “single” is a bad word and a “no go” in today’s society of settling for anything even if it means you are with the wrong person just so long as you have someone to boost your image.
Single is defined as “the state of being unmarried or not involved in a long-term relationship.”
I’m both right now but I have to say it’s working out for me. I love spending time by myself and I’m learning that I like who I am. All the clutter that clouds my mind in a relationship is gone and for a change there is peace and clarity within.
“You’re single not because you are not good enough for one, it’s that you’re too good for the wrong one.” Chris Burkmein
Sometimes we make the wrong choices and wind up in relationships that are not good for us. Taking the time as I am doing to find out why I keep falling for the wrong types is a necessary move on my part. Making a promise to do better the next time around is an integral part of the journey I’m on. It’s a journey of self-discovery and I’m not rushing things. I’m taking my time going within to weed out all the destructive bits that lead me on the self-same journey over and over again.

Settling is not my thing and never has been and I’m stubborn to a fault. Put the two together and you have someone who may never find the right one and “single” is in her cards forever! However, I’m not giving up hope. Working on myself is a priority this year and when and if the “new” someone shows up, I hope I’ll be ready to lower the banner I have around my heart which says, “Do Not Disturb, Work in Progress!“
It has been said:
“A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.” Parade

“I’ve been single for a while and I have to say, it’s going very well.
Like…..It’s working out.
I think I’m the one.”

All jokes aside, being “single” is nothing to be ashamed of. It just means you are taking time out for yourself, learning who you are, loving yourself, working on your self-worth and when the time is right, you’ll get your wings and you’ll learn to fly with the right person.

Have an amazing day.

Thank you Krishna. In today’s society, being single is sometimes thought of as a “bad word.” I am finding out that it is a time where you get to go inside and to find the real you and in so doing you learn not to settle for just anyone. It takes courage in a world where “single” is seen as sorely lacking and it is definitely not the case. Thank you again.

“Tia, your words hold so much truth and strength. ❤️ In a society that often glorifies relationships, choosing to honor your individuality is an act of courage and wisdom. Being single isn’t lacking—it’s a sacred space for growth, self-love, and clarity. 🌸 You’re rewriting the narrative beautifully, and that’s truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing this powerful perspective. 🙏✨”
