I'm at a really great place in my life right now and I'm the happiest I've been in a while. Last year I thought might have been a major disaster. I broke up with my boyfriend of 7 years and I felt like I didn't know who I was anymore.
I felt like I had just made the biggest mistake of my life, but then slowly but surely I started to realize like everyone says, everything happens for a reason. I surely wouldn't be where I am now had I not have made that decision.
Then I learned the beauty of being single. At 26 I got to find out who I was again, on my own.
I was no longer any label - just me.
I can do what I want when I want, I don't have to worry about what decisions I want to make and if someone else would agree with them,I could disappear for a week if I feel like it and go wherever I want without answering to anyone.
I must say the best part is to find out who I am as a 26 year old. I have my dream job, I have the greatest friends, and I have me. I feel super strong, confident, independent, successful, and all with a child like twinkle in my eye.
An extremely glaring twinkle, because for the first time in a long time I know completely, my life is mine and I can do anything and everything I've ever dreamed of.
To anyone who is single and being mopey about it - don't be! This is your time to shine. There's no rule book saying you can't be a functioning human being unless you're constantly paired up. Another person doesn't make you who you are.
Have fun, do anything and everything you want, fucking go wild, and mostly - never look back!
xx D.
