Preferisco rimanere single piuttosto che accontentarmi di meno

Sono stufa di sentirmi dire che sono troppo esigente, che i miei standard sono troppo alti e che finirò per rimanere sola.

I’m sick of hearing questions about wedding bells and what the hell I am waiting for.

I’m sick of being looked down on just because I’m single. So, this one goes out to all of those people who are drowning me in the nonsense of settling.

I’d rather stay single than settle for someone I don’t love. Ho avuto relazioni in cui ero quello che si preoccupava di più e in cui ero quello che si preoccupava di meno.

You can’t forza d'amore . Just like I couldn’t make my ex love me, I can’t be forced to love someone else. I tried, believe me I did. “ Give it time,” hanno detto.

Ma per quanto ci abbia provato, non ha mai funzionato. Non importa quanto io aspetti, l'amore non arriva. Così ho smesso di aspettare.

I’d rather stay single than sacrifice my dreams. I’ve seen so many unhappy people who gave up on their dreams for the sake of their relationship.

And I’m not ready to do that. I’m not ready to give up on my dream of traveling the world while I can.

I’m not ready to give up on the idea of living my dream, because my partner needs me to. There are sacrifices that I’ll never make for love. And my future is one of them.

I’d rather stay single than settle for something half-assed. Whether it’s love, passion or life.

I don’t want it. I had it already, I was living off of crumbs of love.

I was stuck in the same place with a man I couldn’t imagine my future with and I was dreaming about making my dreams come true.

I dreamed about a brighter future but he wasn’t part of it. So I stopped dreaming and started doing.

I’d rather stay single than to have a relazione senza rispetto.

I’m more than someone who will make you goddamn sandwiches and babies and bring you beer.

I’m a woman who wants to have children and who wants to raise them. And I want it all. I want to watch them grow, I want to kiss their bruises and sing them lullabies.

Voglio vederli andare all'università e voglio dare loro una vita adeguata.

E voglio che il mio partner rispetti questo desiderio. Che rispetti me, le mie scelte, il mio passato e le mie conoscenze.

E, dannazione, voglio qualcuno che lo faccia con me. Tutto quanto.

I’d rather stay single than be in a one-sided relationship.

Voglio qualcuno che si impegni quanto me e che non mi faccia mai elemosinare l'amore.

Voglio qualcuno che combatta per me e con me, non contro di me. Voglio avere l'amore che hanno i miei genitori. Un amore con fiducia e rispetto reciproci.

Amore senza giochi, sorrisi falsi e bugie. Voglio lealtà, onestà e integrità. E mi rifiuto di abbassare i miei standard.

There are certain times where it’s okay to do it but love is not one of them.

I’d rather stay single than question my worth. Because, you see, when you are dating a manipulator, you don’t know it until it’s too late.

Until you have already lost all of you, your confidence, worth and faith. You don’t know it until they leave you for dead, all bruised and naked.

E Non ho ricostruito me stesso che qualcuno porti via tutto.

Non ho attraversato l'inferno della depressione per caderci di nuovo. Non ho posseduto il mondo perché qualcuno mi sminuisse.

Quindi, ho scelto di rimanere single finché qualcuno non lo possiede con me.  

I’d rather stay single than settle for lies. I’ve been promised lifelong love before.

I’ve been made to believe that love is supposed to hurt. They say if it doesn’t hurt, it’s not real. But love is not about the pain, for heaven’s sake.

It’s about acceptance, the will to fight and the passion you share together. It’s about lowering your walls to let someone in and that someone protecting you.

It’s about rewriting the stars together, not putting them out. And I have had enough of others people’s darkness.

I’d rather stay single than give up on me. I’m weird, proud and one hell of a badass. I learned how to be my own hero, so I don’t need a new one.

I learned how to fight my own battles, so I’m not looking for a knight in shining armor. I learned how to love myself but the thing is, I want someone to love me as well.

It’s not about me needing someone in my life, it’s about me wanting someone there. I want someone to have my back when it all goes south.

Voglio qualcuno che cammini accanto a me, non che mi porti in braccio, fino alla fine della strada. E voglio quel tipo di amore da film, ma non a qualsiasi costo.

I’d rather stay single than accontentarsi di meno. Per qualsiasi cosa meno di quanto io meriti e voglia.

And God knows that I’m not asking for much. In a world full of fuckboys, games and lies, I’m asking for honesty and loyalty.

In a world full of darkness and pain, I’m asking for joy and someone who will shine with me.

In a world full of hate, violence and brokenness, I’m asking for someone who will share love with me.

Qualcuno che combatta le difficoltà con me, non che mi abbandoni al primo ostacolo.

Quindi, scelgo la vita da single finché l'amore non sceglie me. Scelgo me stessa finché il mio cuore non sceglie qualcun altro.
