#ProjectYouFirst is a campaign to help promote healthy relationships worldwide. We place importance on ensuring that both subjects in a relationship are happy with themselves, and with the relationship they are in.
Too many people have criticized characters (and authors, for that matter) for not wanting to be in a relationship with someone. Whether it's because they want to work on themselves to be able to put 100% into a relationship, or because they just need a break to figure out if that relationship is best for both parties, those decisions should be respected. Whatever the reason that character or person may have for not wanting to be in a relationship, they deserve to do what feels right for them. Everyone is allowed to do what is best for themselves while still being mindful and respectful of their significant other.
Being in a relationship is not the "ultimate goal" in life for many people, and that should be represented in fiction as well. This campaign works to highlight that fact and bring attention to situations where certain people/characters would be better off apart. Toxic relationships are overrepresented on Wattpad, and we all deserve to see characters making better choices for themselves, their significant others, and their relationships.
It's not an unhappy ending if the main characters don't end up together when they're happier apart. Isn't it better for them to be happy and single than unhappy and together?
Being single isn't going to make the universe explode. You won't need to use one of those underground bunkers chock full of peanut butter or wear an oxygen tank and space suit in case the zombie apocalypse comes or you're blown off the planet.
Your happiness does not have to be defined by your partner. You are entitled to be happy and healthy whether you're single or not.
DISCLAIMER
This project isn't about viewing yourself as better than anyone else—it's about becoming the best version of yourself, whether it is inside or outside of a relationship. It's about putting your needs, health, and happiness at the forefront. It's about doing what you need to in order to thrive in life. It's about being your own, whole person. It's about you.
