<\/p>\nIn the time when everybody is getting married, it\u2019s a challenge to stay single. In the time when everything is about getting your other \u2018half\u2019, being single feels like the end of the world. At least that\u2019s how others see it. It’s a challenge not to break under the pressure.<\/p>\n
The ugly side of being single is that you have a hard time fitting anywhere. From my experience, I\u2019ve come to realize that it’s almost impossible to stay friends with married people. <\/p>\n
You just can\u2019t hang around with your married friends because those who are happily married pity you and can\u2019t stop searching for somebody to match you with and when it comes to those unhappily married, well, most probably, they regret their decision and you represent everything they\u2019re not but could’ve been if they were still single.<\/p>\n
We can all now be offended by this and list dozen of reasons why married people are no different than others, but it just won\u2019t stand. Whether we care to admit it to ourselves or not, it\u2019s a fact that people change when they enter a marriage. <\/p>\n
They don\u2019t have to change as a person but somehow, the relationship we used to have with them seems odd and awkward and absolutely different\u2014regardless of how much of an effort we put into making it look like everything is fine.<\/p>\n
The truth is\u2014I don\u2019t have a single dating app on my phone. I choose to be single. I have chosen this life day by day for the past few years. I\u2019m not scared to be single. I am fine with it. It\u2019s my decision and I\u2019m owning it. Surprised?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Posso dizer-vos uma coisa sobre ser solteiro? Ser solteiro \u00e9<\/a> f\u00e1cil e divertido. Ser solteiro tem tudo a ver com auto-aperfei\u00e7oamento, estar confort\u00e1vel sozinho.<\/p>\n It\u2019s knowing you\u2019re hot without the need to post your picture online to get approval for your beauty from other people.<\/p>\n To me, being single is the need to impress myself. It\u2019s an opportunity to show myself what I am made of and what I can accomplish on my own.<\/p>\n Only then, when I make everything work for me like a Swiss watch, I can let somebody else in my life. Only then, I\u2019ll feel good enough to be around somebody else.<\/p>\n Being single is not proving others your worth, it’s about proving it to yourself. <\/b><\/p>\n I want to be honest and this is the truth. I chose what to do with my time. I chose what to do with my life. I don\u2019t make compromises and I give myself the right to do whatever I feel like doing.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t need to think about if somebody I\u2019m dating will be ok with it and if somebody I\u2019m in a relationship with will be hurt by my actions.<\/p>\n Escolhi esta altura espec\u00edfica da minha vida para descobrir o que quero na vida. Tenho a cabe\u00e7a erguida e os meus padr\u00f5es mais elevados e nunca me vou desculpar por isso.<\/p>\n Relationships take time and energy. I\u2019m not ready to give up on either of those two for somebody else. It\u2019s better to keep being single than to enter a relationship and end up being toxic for the other person or making him feel unworthy. I don\u2019t want to leave broken people behind and that\u2019s why I chose to be single.<\/p>\n Ver tamb\u00e9m:<\/strong> 7 sinais \u00f3bvios de que n\u00e3o est\u00e1 preparado para uma rela\u00e7\u00e3o<\/a><\/p>\n Estar sozinho \u00e9 ser capaz de estar sozinho e n\u00e3o sentir um pingo de solid\u00e3o. Em vez de o julgarem, as pessoas deviam recompens\u00e1-lo. I don’t need somebody else to feel complete.<\/a><\/p>\n Let me tell you a secret. I don\u2019t have a fear of dying alone, but I\u2019ll tell you what I am afraid of. I\u2019m afraid of not making my dreams come true.<\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m afraid of cutting out all the people who were there for me my whole life for a single person that doesn\u2019t feel like accepting I had a life before him. <\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m afraid of choosing the wrong person to spend the rest of my life with and I\u2019m afraid of ultimatums and having to compromise my wishes for somebody else\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n A \u00fanica pessoa que me pode prometer para sempre sou eu. Por isso, devo a mim pr\u00f3prio tirar o melhor partido poss\u00edvel da minha vida.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, tables can turn and I could meet the right person\u2014the one who makes being in love worth more than being single. I’m not running away from commitment, but I’m also not sprinting towards it.<\/p>\n I am not one of those girls who always had somebody to date her. I was the picky one that wanted somebody who’ll challenge her, who’ll make her want to be a better version of herself, and a man who’ll want to be a better man because of her.<\/p>\n I didn’t get that yet and it’s fine. That’s why I am challenging myself and doing the best I can to be a better version of myself each and every day.<\/p>\n People need to start realizing that people are no longer single because nobody wants them\u2014people are single because they choose to be single. People are single because they refuse to contentar-se com menos. <\/a><\/b><\/p>\n Desculpem, posso ser solteiro, mas I\u2019m too busy slaying the single life.<\/a><\/p>\nSou ego\u00edsta com o meu tempo.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\nWhat people fail to understand is I am not less if I don\u2019t have a man.<\/h2>\n
