Know your weaknesses. Then crush them.

Today after dinner I went for my usual walk, but this time I bumped into my friend. It’s complicated, but I guess you can say that we’re friends who have just drifted apart to two different groups. Things had gone awry a bit over a year ago when I discovered her honest opinion of us, but sometimes I have trouble understanding whether she really hated being with us. Anyway, we bumped into each today, and she’s one of the rare people whom I don’t greet and immediately walk away from. We walked towards each other and we ended up taking a walk together. Somehow, we ended up exploring our neighbourhood like old times, and along the way, we told stories about things that have happened in the past while. It was one of those conversations that just kept rolling with neither participants wanting it to end. We even discovered a historic site in our area. It is a stone house that was built in 1871 and everything about it is perfect. We just kept walking and eventually we accidentally found our way back home, but instead of going back into our houses, we stood in front of my place and talked for another hour or two. Time flew by and the skies got darker, but we just kept talking. Before we knew it, it was already 10:30, and we finally parted when her mom was making her go back home.

Few things in life make me happier than reconnecting with my friends.

I think one of the most flattering things you can say to a person is that you’re interested in what they’ve got to say.

You’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you texted too much or too little or waited 33 minutes to respond because he took 23. It’s not because you met up with your ex that night at 5 a.m. that no one knows about, or because you kissed another boy after a date with a loser.

You’re not single because you spit food on that date or tripped coming out the the movie theatre. You’re not single because you hurt your first boyfriend really badly when you were 15 or because you have yet, to this day, to apologize. It’s not because you were secretly jealous when your friend got a boyfriend or that a guy you dated for two months now has a really cute girlfriend and looks really happy. And you’re happy for him. But still ill that he found someone before you.

You’re not single because you slept with your ex boyfriend. You’re not single because half the world found out when you didn’t even want to remember it yourself. You’re not single because you think the guy your friend wants to hook you up with is ugly or not tall enough. It’s not because you’re not willing to put up with someone who doesn’t brush their teeth on a regular basis.

You’re not single because your standards are too high. Good for you for having standards. It’s not because you didn’t like that really, really good guy who wanted to take you on a date and you just weren’t feeling it. And it’s not because you like to wear pajama pants as soon as you get home and wash all the makeup off your face. You’re not single because you didn’t learn enough from the past or would rather chill on a Friday night with your blanket and a cold beer than shower, get ready, and go out. You’re not single because something is wrong with you.

You are single because you are single. It’s really as simple as that. You haven’t made the connection with another heart yet. You can get dolled up, dress cute, cut your hair, dye your hair, tweeze your eyebrows, put on lipstick and you may still. be. single. You can go out to a bar hoping to meet the love of your life and not find a damn one in the place attractive. And it’s going to remain that way until it’s time for you to find one. Stop hoping for it. Start living the life that you do have instead of wishing for things that you don’t have. There will come a time you’ll meet a boy and you’ll have to give up some of this single freedom you currently have. Start being more thankful. Start doing that now.
