Single Status Isn’t A Syndrome

When I was young (in secondary school, 13 – 17), I was desperate praying that someday I will found my own partner.  It was also known as soul-mate or prince charming or the one.

Every time I looked back to the time, replay the old memories, I ashamed how much I have been wasting my time by looking for someone that I can crown to be my partner, my prince charming or the one.  Because I finally realize that I never appreciated myself while I was single.

When I was single, I never stole a moment to live my own life by doing something that really can live my own life, something that can me really have a good time in my life because, I was too busy looking for my prince charming.  I know.  I know.  

Well, I found him when I was 18 and we are still together now.

You know, if I know that I going to meet him at 18, I will never ever wasting my time looking for him everywhere when I was 13 -17.  I should’ve live my life by careless about it but have fun like the world about to end because I eventually got to meet him at 18.

From what I have seen now, single status isn’t a syndrome.  It’s a choice of love.  It’s a choice to love yourself enough to give life the time to find you the person who gives you butterflies.  Being single is about not settling and not giving up on love.  Being single is about spending time with yourself and learning how amazing you are, alone, as one whole being… because let’s face it, if you don’t like spending time with yourself, who will?

If you’re single, don’t ever hate to embrace it while you still can.
