Se siete stanchi di essere single, leggete QUESTO

Siete stanchi che la gente vi ricordi la vostra condizione di solitari? Siete stufi di tutti quegli eventi e incontri sociali in cui le persone vengono con i loro partner (e voi non avete nessuno che vi accompagni)?

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, “Sì, sì e sì.” (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.

La parte peggiore dell'essere single è la gente che ti fa continuamente domande come: 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.

Voglio che leggiate questo titolo dieci volte, se necessario, finché non ne assorbite appieno il significato. Tutti i film, i programmi televisivi e i media ci hanno fatto credere che essere single sia qualcosa di negativo.

Nei film tutte le belle ragazze conquistano tutti i ragazzi (e viceversa). Solo chi ha una relazione viene presentato come veramente felice, mentre i single vengono mostrati come disperati.

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 single per sempre.

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 citazione sul vero amore quando nella vita reale vi sopportate a malapena.

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.”

Probabilmente anche voi avete il vostro damn good reasons why you’re still singlee queste potrebbero essere alcune di esse:

• 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

Chiunque può avere una relazione, ma pochi di noi possono essere davvero felici in una relazione.

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.

Rimanere single finché non si trova qualcuno a cui importa davvero di te.

Mia nonna me lo diceva sempre: “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).

Il fatto è che per amare gli altri bisogna prima imparare ad amare se stessi. L'unico modo per innamorarsi di se stessi è accettare di essere single.

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.

Quindi, rimanete single finché non iniziate ad amare ogni singolo centimetro di voi stessi.

Rimanete single finché non iniziate ad apprezzare la libertà che avete.

Rimanete single finché non inizierete a vederla come una benedizione invece che come una maledizione.

Rimani single finché non trovi qualcuno a cui importi davvero di te.

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.

Non è una cosa che potete controllare, quindi ignoratela. L'unica persona che dovreste ascoltare è voi stessi. Quindi, rimanete single finché non incontrerete qualcuno che fa al caso vostro.

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.

Invece di preoccuparvi dell'essere single, EMBRACE!

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 dei più consigli utili per abbracciare la vita da single 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.

Non dovreste mai essere stanchi di trovare nuovi modi per diventare la versione migliore di voi stessi e non dovreste mai essere stanchi di esplorare la vita e la sua bellezza da soli.

Quindi, invece di preoccuparvi di essere single, abbracciatelo. Invece di aspettare che qualcun altro vi ami, scegliete di innamorarvi di voi stessi (per primi).
