There’s no point in forcing yourselves into places where you don’t belong. If you’re just not meant to be in a relationship at this moment with a particular person, then you need to be able to swallow that truth with all your might. Accept it. You can’t be forcing the issue especially when it’s just not meant for you. And you’ve got to stop putting so much pressure on yourself to be in a relationship. There is nothing wrong with staying single – especially when the alternative means settling for being in a relationship with someone you’re not totally in love with. You should never allow yourself to settle into a relationship with a person who just doesn’t bring a sense of joy, fulfillment, and meaning into your life. You should always be striving to be in a relationship with someone who is going to make you feel strong even during your weakest and most vulnerable moments.
You should never allow yourself to settle for a relationship with a person who just brings a lot of pain, anguish, and disappointment into the life that you live. The world already has enough troubles and worries as it does. You don’t need a romantic life that only adds to your problems. You don’t need any unnecessary stress from a person who supposedly loves you. You don’t want all of that emotional baggage that you never intended to sign up for in the first place. You just want to be with a person who makes everything seem lighter and more bearable. You want to be with someone who actually helps you heal instead of someone who causes you pain. You should stay single for the person who is going to help you solve your problems; not someone who gives you more headaches to deal with. You have to stay single until you meet the one person who makes you forget – even for a second – about all of your worries and troubles in the world. You should stay single for the person who is always going to give you a sense of security and comfort in life.
You don’t have to be rushing yourself at all. You shouldn’t have to be pressuring yourself. You don’t have to force the issue. Stay single until you meet the one person who is going to show you what it really means to fall in love – and once you do, you will realize that it’s definitely worth the wait. The truth is that you really only should be with the one person who opens your eyes to the simplicity and rawness of true love – the kind of love that is unsullied and untainted. You should stay single until you meet the person who makes you realize that love has the power to change lives; to chance the world in general. You should stay single until you meet the one person who is going to love you unconditionally; the one person who is going to give you the kind of love that does not alter when alteration finds, as Shakespeare once said. You should stay single until you meet the one person who is going to protect and shield you from all the unnecessary evils of the world.
You don’t have to try so hard to convince yourself that you’re in love with someone. Love isn’t something that you have to really convince yourself of after all. When you fall in love with that one person who is just made for you, then you won’t need to be forcing the issue at all. You’re just going to understand in that moment why you had to wait so long; and why you had to go through many trials before getting to this point. The moment that you fall in love for real, it’s going to be one of the most fulfilling moments of your life; and nothing or no one is going to take that away from you. But it’s very important that you stay patient.
If you allow yourself to settle, then you are depriving yourself of the journey towards the love that’s right for you. And a lot of the time, that’s the best part. So don’t deprive yourself of that opportunity to pursue the love that you’re supposed to have. Don’t miss out on a chance to really fall in love with a person who is worth falling in love with. Stay single. Don’t settle. Wait and be patient. Maintain that hope and optimism. Believe that love is eventually going to come your way and you just have to make sure that you’re ready when it does. And once you do fall in love for real, it will be both everything and nothing like you’ve always imagined. It’s going to be magical.
I’ve waited 41 years for the right person, still single, never married or had children, praying everyday about it.
