Si estás cansado de estar soltero, lee ESTO

¿Está cansado de que la gente le recuerde su condición de soltero? ¿Estás harto de todos esos eventos y reuniones sociales a los que la gente acude con su pareja (y tú no tienes a nadie que te acompañe)?

Do you feel like you’re going to be single forever?

If someone asked me these questions a year ago, my answer to every single one of them would’ve been, “Sí, sí y sí.” (Boy, that sounds really desperate.)

When I broke up with my partner and entered ‘the realm of being single,’ I felt isolated, excluded from society (including my friends), and I felt like something was missing in my life.

I hated every single couple around me and all those cheesy things they do. Holding hands? Gross. At the same time, I craved all those things even though I didn’t want to admit it to myself.

Lo peor de estar soltero es que la gente te haga constantemente preguntas como: How come you’re so pretty but still single? Why are you so picky? Do you think you’ll be young forever?

Seriously, people? I’m sure that every single one of you (who are tired of being single) agrees with me that the worst part of being single is people making you feel like there’s something wrong with you.

As a matter of fact, you’re not even tired of being single, but you’re tired of people asking you stupid questions and thinking that your solo status is the leading cause of your “unhappiness.”

Just because you’re (still) single doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you.

Quiero que leas este titular diez veces si es necesario hasta que asimiles completamente su significado. Todas esas películas, programas de televisión y medios de comunicación nos han hecho creer que ser soltero es algo malo.

En las películas, todas las chicas guapas se llevan a todos los chicos (y viceversa). Sólo se presenta a los que tienen pareja como verdaderamente felices, mientras que a los solteros se les muestra como desesperados.

All these things can make you think that there’s something wrong with you because you’re still single. When you see a couple sharing food, you think to yourself: OMG, that’s so sweet.

When will I be able to do such a thing with my partner? Wait, I’ll probably be soltero para siempre.

For a long time, I thought that the only relationship I’d ever have in my life is the one I have with my cat. And then it struck me:

It’s better to be single than with the wrong person. It’s better to be happy and single than unhappy in a relationship.

It’s better to be happy with what you have right now than feel miserable about something you don’t.

It took me a while to realize that being single is not a matter of being desperate, but it’s a choice!

I choose to be single because I don’t want to settle for mediocre romances where the pinnacle of sharing affection is posting a picture on social media with some cheesy cita sobre el amor verdadero cuando en la vida real, apenas se soportan.

I don’t want to be a victim of fake love. I don’t want anything fake. I don’t want to rush anything, and that’s why I’m single.

I’m not single because I can’t meet anyone at the moment, but I’m single because I don’t want to give my heart to a random stranger only to get rid of my solo status.

“Sorry, society, but I like my solo status, and I don’t want to get rid of it only to make YOU happy.”

Probablemente también tenga su propio damn good reasons why you’re still singley estos podrían ser algunos de ellos:

• You were heartbroken before

• You need more time to decide to commit to someone again

• You love your independence

• You need time to work on yourself

• You’re not afraid to wait for things you deserve

• You know that being single is better than being in an unhappy relationship

Cualquiera puede tener una relación, pero pocos podemos ser realmente felices en una.

Once you understand the real reason why you’re still single, it will be easier for you to accept and applaud your solo status instead of seeing it as something bad.

Quédate soltero hasta que encuentres a alguien a quien realmente le importes..

Mi abuela solía decirme: “Dear, remember this very well. It’s better to be single and happy than with the wrong partner. You cannot love others if you don’t love yourself.”

Relationships and true love cannot be forced. No matter how cliché it may sound, the truth is that everything happens for a reason, and you’re right where you’re supposed to be right now.

You’re single at the moment because you’re supposed to be. Perhaps you need some time to work on yourself and increase your self-love.

Perhaps you need more time to heal from your past relationships (even though you think you don’t).

La cuestión es que, para amar a los demás, primero tienes que aprender a amarte a ti mismo. La única forma de enamorarse de uno mismo es aceptar la soltería.

If you’re tired of being single, it means you need more time to fall in love with yourself before you meet someone. It means you need more solo time.

Así que quédate soltera hasta que empieces a amar cada centímetro de ti misma.

Quédate soltero hasta que empieces a apreciar la libertad que tienes.

Quédate soltero hasta que empieces a verlo como una bendición en lugar de una maldición.

Quédate soltero hasta que encuentres a alguien a quien realmente le importes.

Don’t rush things. Don’t force yourself to meet new people if you’re not ready for it and, most importantly, DON’T worry about what others think!

I always say that people will always talk, say stupid things, and worry more about other people’s lives than their own (well, the majority of them). Guess what? There’s nothing you can do about it.

Esto no es algo que puedas controlar, así que ignóralo. La única persona a la que debes escuchar es a ti misma. Por tanto, quédate soltero hasta que conozcas a alguien adecuado para ti.

Every single one of us has our own unique path, and being single is a part of it. So, instead of seeing it as something negative, understand that there’s a reason why you’re still single, and you’ll meet someone when the time comes.

En lugar de preocuparte por la soltería, ¡acéptala!

I used to think that being single was a curse, but now I can say for sure that it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.

If you don’t believe me, here are some legit reasons why being single is priceless:

• You get to pick your own movies and TV shows to watch

• No drama (every relationship eventually gets drama-filled)

• No jealousy

• You can truly learn to love yourself

• No pressure about shaving or waxing

• You realize that being a cat lady is not that bad after all (reserved for females)

• The only person you have to spoil is yourself

• The entire bed is YOURS

• You realize that you don’t need a romantic relationship to be truly happy

• You invest more time in hobbies and building meaningful relationships

• You have plenty of time to have fun and mingle to your heart’s content (if you want to…)

I could go on and on with this list, but I’ll stop right here because I don’t want to overdo it. I just want you to see that there are so many reasons why you should embrace your single life instead of seeing it as a curse.

I’m single at the moment, and I can tell you for sure that I’ve never been happier. Yes, it took me a while to get used to it and see it as a blessing, and I’m glad that I did.

Uno de los consejos útiles para disfrutar de la soltería is realizing that what you think you’re missing at the moment is not a romantic relationship but SELF-LOVE.

You’ll miss falling in love with yourself and not someone else. Once you understand that, you will never, ever say to yourself or others that you’re tired of being single.

Saying that basically means you’re tired of being with yourself.

Nunca deberías cansarte de encontrar nuevas formas de convertirte en la mejor versión de ti mismo, y nunca deberías cansarte de explorar la vida y su belleza por tu cuenta.

Así que, en lugar de preocuparte por la soltería, acéptala. En lugar de esperar a que otra persona te quiera, elige enamorarte de ti mismo (primero).
