However, being single allows me the great opportunity to practice this skill. It is the only love language that I am any good at. I’m a Croatian American and we LOVE cooking. Excuse me while I bust into “Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel. It is nice to just sit in the solace of silence. Yes, I know this sounds oversimplified but the introvert in me needs space occasionally, just to breathe and recharge.
And that, while you’re waiting on the Lord to reveal your husband or wife, there are really beautiful things to experience on your own. That’s just foolishness.Īnd no, I’m also not here to give you the rote pep talk of, “Just keep holding on! It happens when you least expect it!” Because, as someone who didn’t have her first boyfriend until she was 26, I know being single can straight up suck.Īnd THAT is why I’m here to tell you that being single doesn’t actually suck, or rather, doesn’t HAVE to suck. You’ve got flaws and bumps and bruises, but you don’t need a person to complete you. You, in and of yourself, are already complete already whole.
However, I think it might be counterintuitive and a little destructive to assume we are not already a whole person. We all love the satisfying fit of one puzzle piece to another. I understand the sentiment and I appreciate the ideology. If you’ve been alive for more than ten…seconds, you’ve probably heard the phrase, “Find someone who completes you.”
