Singleness is not a phase, it is a lifetime thing
Singleness is not transition into marriage
Singleness is life!
It is only a person who is single, truly single that can get married
Singleness is learning who God is, who you are and why you are here
It is a time to ask questions and get answers
It is time to seek, to pray, to learn, relearn and unlearn
It is time to discover what you are not, to solidify your convictions
To heal, to breathe, to embrace life
To make the life of others better
To make God look great by shining our light
We have glorified marriage and placed it on such a high pedestal
And I won't refute the fact that marriage was designed to be great and even for our happiness
But marriage is not the goal and singleness the consolation price
Being single is not compensation
It isn't "managing" life
It isn't a word we should be ashamed off just like marriage isn't something we are ashamed off
It isn't a "tag" one should wear with pity like you haven't achieved something grand in life
The first thing that comes to our minds when a person identifies as single isn't how to "hook the person up" or ask why, or wonder if the person is alright
It doesn't have to the awkward part of the conversation
Instead maybe we ask about what's been happening in the person life and be genuinely interested in them not just their relationship or marital status
Being single is not a curse it shouldn't be treated as one
Learn to be single, learn to enjoy your own company
Enjoy your friends, enjoy God, bless a life
Buy a bottle of coke, read a book, binge watch Suits or Grey's anatomy if you're me
And when the time comes for you not to be single, then glory to God
Be with someone who wants to be with you not the idea of you or who they think you can or should be
And please don't settle because it is a disservice to you and your partner
They deserve better and so do you
So, I'm gonna stay here and be awesomely weird me and be alone and single
And just in case I see someone who's worth a shot traipsing around me, maybe we will hook up or not
Maybe I'll choose singleness over a myriad of calls, text and hand and togetherness
Bottom line, marriage isn't the antidote for singleness and being single can be beautiful
P.S.
As for the pressure cookers, leave a girl alone. I don't want to hear your voice if you're not adding value to my life. And by value I mean money. If you're angry come and pay for my masters degree or go buy me an island.
