It’s about time us girls
stopped settling. Settling because our ‘biological clocks’ say so. Settling
because our friends and family ask us to. I know it is exasperating hearing the
age old annoying question: ‘Why don’t
you have a boyfriend?’ or ‘Why are you still single’ or ‘No date tonight?’
Trust me I have heard all those questions and worse ones at that. But honestly
how bad is it being single? It’s not like it’s a life threatening disease. You
have all your mental faculties too. Stop whining. Get out there and give back
to the world. If you have mad make up skills, get some dough from it. You make
a mean recipe of something your mother passed down to you, get on with that
griddle. Tailor away if people love your
vibrant cloth headbands.
It’s all about offering up to
the world what you have. And in the midst of it all, in the thick of getting
your hands dirty learning about yourself, you just might fall in love. You may very well meet him. In fact I would
rather dare say that you will no longer be single. Because happiness attracts
happy people. Positivity in this case attracts positive people. And you won’t
even realize that you were missing out. It will feel so natural, falling in
love that is. And yes it can even be the more magical. Because you took away
the desperation. You put away the insecure thoughts. You gave up the
impatience.
Instead you slowly but surely
grew confident, assured and full of hope. That everything happens in its own
time. You do not need to hurry anything.
You have faith you will meet him. And won’t you be glad when you do, that you
did not settle? Ask me, I didn’t and I
finally met him.
