A pursuit of something bittersweet.

So true.

I think it is necessary to receive reassurance, especially when you feel like you aren’t the person you’ve always hoped to be.These words were a reminder that though I am human, and have failed at many things, I have touched someone somewhere in my life. So much so that they find it in themselves to reach out to me, even when time has lost us both.

“You’re a special person to someone you have an outstanding personality and I hope you can show that to someone special one day and hopefully they’ll appreciate it. I missed out on that opportunity back then and I think that’s why I keep running back but it’s not about me it’s about you and I just want to thank you for everything that you have put up with not only with me but with everyone else. Even if you’re not looking for anyone right now, I’m sure one day you will, no matter what and I mean this no matter what I will always love you for who you are and what you have done for me you are a very great person!”

Appreciation.

You’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you texted too much or too little or waited 33 minutes to respond because he took 23. It’s not because you met up with your ex that night at 5 a.m. that no one knows about, or because you kissed another boy after a date with a loser.

You’re not single because you spit food on that date or tripped coming out the the movie theatre. You’re not single because you hurt your first boyfriend really badly when you were 15 or because you have yet, to this day, to apologize. It’s not because you were secretly jealous when your friend got a boyfriend or that a guy you dated for two months now has a really cute girlfriend and looks really happy. And you’re happy for him. But still ill that he found someone before you.

You’re not single because you slept with your ex boyfriend. You’re not single because half the world found out when you didn’t even want to remember it yourself. You’re not single because you think the guy your friend wants to hook you up with is ugly or not tall enough. It’s not because you’re not willing to put up with someone who doesn’t brush their teeth on a regular basis.

You’re not single because your standards are too high. Good for you for having standards. It’s not because you didn’t like that really, really good guy who wanted to take you on a date and you just weren’t feeling it. And it’s not because you like to wear pajama pants as soon as you get home and wash all the makeup off your face. You’re not single because you didn’t learn enough from the past or would rather chill on a Friday night with your blanket and a cold beer than shower, get ready, and go out. You’re not single because something is wrong with you.

You are single because you are single. It’s really as simple as that. You haven’t made the connection with another heart yet. You can get dolled up, dress cute, cut your hair, dye your hair, tweeze your eyebrows, put on lipstick and you may still. be. single. You can go out to a bar hoping to meet the love of your life and not find a damn one in the place attractive. And it’s going to remain that way until it’s time for you to find one. Stop hoping for it. Start living the life that you do have instead of wishing for things that you don’t have. There will come a time you’ll meet a boy and you’ll have to give up some of this single freedom you currently have. Start being more thankful. Start doing that now.

Words cannot express how awesome this made me feel!!

"What if I told you 10 years from now your life would be exactly the same. Doubt you’d be happy. So why are you afraid of change?"

Why be afraid?!

One who isn’t a dancer doesn’t quite understand that dancing is not just dancing. But it is a moment in time where passion flows freely through the rhythm of your body and the beat of the song…
