I'm 23. And I've been single for almost 3 years. Now if that doesn't sound like an eternity then you must not be human. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the single life for some time, the "no ties", "no strings attached" type of situations, but ultimately I would rather be someone's main squeeze. Us humans crave that companionship and love you get from a romantic relationship. No one can tell me otherwise, no matter how exciting the single life may seem. We weren't placed on this earth to experience life alone but with today's set of morals I bet I have a bunch of individuals who would beg to differ.
Well you know what? I can't speak for everyone but I can speak for myself. I am tired of the "single life", I'm ready for that lifetime "hold me down through thick&thin" companion. Not asking for a ring tomorrow or anything but I'm ready for that unconditional love and affection. I'm not asking for too much. I do know that being single this long teaches you a thing or two about how to approach your next relationship. I most definitely tend to proceed with caution, just to make sure it'll be right. I don't want to get into to something just for it to go sour in a couple months. Naaa. Someone who won't give up easily is what I need. I've dealt with the guy who is all in until he starts to fall and pushes me away, and the guy who wants to lock me down, yet still play the field. I'm over that.
What's next? I look at my brother who got married at 23 and look at myself and draw a blank... I would love to follow in his footsteps and marry the guy of my dreams but it doesn't look like that may come to reality. Well at least not now. And that's cool because I don't see me actually married right now, but on the path to be.. Yes.
Idk. The single life isn't all it's cracked up to be. And a relationship done right is something that everyone deserves. I don't want a knight in shining armor to come sweep me off my feet but damn, let a girl get sunthin real. But in the meantime, I'll just be here. Enjoying life. One day at a time.
