I love being single

Never imagined, I would ever say that, but I do. Yes, I have been hurt way too many times in relationships in the past, and because of that has dragged me further down. I will not go down that road again. Staying single and practicing self love, has allowed me to protect myself from ever getting hurt again and to be cautious of others. For the first time in a long time, I see my own beauty from the inside and out. Since focusing on myself, I can fully say that I completely understand what true happiness and true love is, because I have found it within myself. I love myself so much.

@Ashly Yes, I’ve been single and celibate for going on 10 years, and its been the best decision, I’ve ever made, because it has led me to focus on self love. It can be difficult at first, but you’ll have to decide on what would you prefer.

@NaturalBeautyQueen I can’t do that ☹ I want a husband and kids and even tho I’m single now I never loose hope, even though some days I feel like they may not happen 😕

@Ashly There’s nothing wrong with wanting a husband and kids, if that is what you really want.

For me personally, I have kids, but I don’t ever want to be married. That is something I gave a good thought about and feel at peace with that. Celibacy is a practice that came easy for me, because I never liked having sex with men, to be honest. I wholeheartedly thought about what marriage would look like for me, if I had a husband, with my kids and came to realize it’s just not for me. For me, all I saw was misery, but that’s just me.

I would encourage you, if you hadn’t already, to think about what marriage with kids, would look like for you, be realistic about it, and if that is something you really want, then do it. But in the meantime, spend your time while single, to focus on loving yourself, until you have an understanding what real love is, and to also be patient and the right person will come along. Good luck to you.
