How many times have you felt rejected by the girl of your dreams just because you don't have a car? How many times have you felt ugly because no one asks you out on a date? How many times have you felt unattractive just because no one seems to notice you? When was the last time you felt inadequate because the one you love didn't choose you? You were heartbroken when the last petal you plucked whispers that he loves you not. You felt envy whenever you see two people who seem so perfect for each other. You can't help but shed a tear at a movie scene because you have been longing for a love like that in your life, and nothing is bluer than the feeling of realizing that such scene will only remain in the movies because being alone has been too long and you're beginning to conform to its familiarity.
Maybe you've been waiting for that right person and wonder what's taking him/her so long. Maybe you've been seeking for a love that is genuine and special but you can't seem to find it. You've searched for it in places and people but none of them is enough. In your desperate quest for someone who can finally redeem you from the season of singleness you lower your standards and settle for less than you deserve. You eventually grew impatient and rush to get into a relationship because you thought you will run out of it. You thought having someone who loves you will make you happy and that you will feel desirable enough. So you continue to wander only to find yourself lost because you just can't make a home out of people.
A relationship status has become a standard to determine how much we are loved, that as long as your significant other hasn't come, or when you don't get to spend your weekends on a date, you can't feel magic. We often relate singleness to self-worth and would feel less because of it. We have come to believe in the idea that being single means being unhappy and unwanted.
It's time to open your eyes and look beyond the imperfections and failures. Maybe the girl of your dreams is meant to reject you because the one you deserve would love long walks under the moonlight than a ride, for love is a journey that is worthwhile. Maybe the last petal was lying or you shouldn't have picked that flower at all because love is supposed to grow and bloom through time. A boyfriend won't make you prettier because you already are perfectly beautiful in your own way. A girlfriend doesn't have to do with your looks, because you are more than those 6-pack abs and even better than prince charming. You are single because you are patient enough to wait for the person who is truly meant for you. You are single because you love yourself wholly and you don't need to beg someone else for love. You are single because you are content with your own self. You are single because you are amazing and someone has to be amazing as well to change that. You are single because you're able to see that life has so much more to offer than just a label between two people. You are single because life is too beautiful to just spend your time on worrying whether or not that person finds you attractive. You are single because you are strong and extraordinary. You are single because not everyone can easily afford a gem, so that means someone must work really hard to have you. You are worth it.
Truth is, one's relationship status doesn't have to do with who you are. Because your burning passion and incomparable beauty are exactly what make you who you are. Being single doesn't make you incomplete as a person because you are not a puzzle to be filled in. Your parts are not shattered for anyone else to reassemble. You are a book that can inspire others and impact the world. You are enough to complete the story of your life. And when it's time to fill that chapter where you are going to write about love, it will certainly be the grandest. But since it's not happening yet, just enjoy the chapter where you are in as each of it brings you closer to the page where love is. You will get there, I promise. smile emoticons"
