Being single is not that excited as it may seem. Yes, you get a lot of free time, yes you save money, yes you save some energy. However is being single worth it?
I’ve been single for a long time now. After breaking up from a long term relationship which lasted for over 3 years, you kind of see the whole world of relationship way differently than others. You really got used to the other person. And you expectations for the new date will be set high, simply because your used to that. For some magical reason you expect another person to be better. You expect them to instantly have that telepathic connection you had with your ex.
I remember waiting for a really important meeting, and be all worried, just browsing cellphone, when all of a sudden a text came from her, saying “don’t worry”. Because when you really in love, you guys share that special connecting between you two. Maybe for some its magic, but for people who in love after a long time its the reality.
However, what to do when you guys are ex’s now. What to do after a breakup. After you got so used to another person, when you can’t even imagine where to start looking for someone else. Or how you even know if you ready to start another relationship.
After being single for a while, you realize you know absolutely nothing about dating, You come up with a lame starting phrase. Or you get over confident, or too shy. It seems like its impossible to find someone. You just stare around, you see all those people, and you wonder how … HOW do you get into the relationship. You just know nothing, like a little kid who start learning how to walk. However since you not kid anymore, comes the fear, that you wont find anyone… and the longer your alone… the more depressing it becomes. Not a good way to start looking for a new relationship. Not shaved, depressed, all grumpy…. You feel like that lost kitten, sitting in the middle of the street under the rain.
Stop! Look around! the world is amazing, there is so many things to do. Remember when you wait, time runs longer. It’s better to get your self busy! go workout, go study, go work, go for a walk. Anywhere she or he maybe waiting for you to show up. You wont get anywhere sitting on one spot. But taking one step a day, may actually lead you to your destination. No one will care for you, but you. No one is you. Your the only person who knows your self, and cares. SO STAND UP AND GO!
There is no tomorrow, or yesterday. Maybe tomorrow will be a third world war, and all you going to do is run around with a automatic riffle. Do what you can today, because today is all you have.
