Single life teaches us many life lessons... 🫂 how to embrace ourselves and our singleness 👤 how to enjoy our own company and presence, and not depend on others 🗣 how to listen to ourselves, speak up and be attentive to what we need 👥 how to surround ourselves with better people All of which make us so much more... 💪 stronger 🧍‍♀️independent 🦹‍♀️ empowered So please let’s stop seeing it as a flaw, it’s a positive attribute which helps us grow, evolve and develop.

How often do you get asked why you’re single? Or How often do you get asked why you’re single? Or if you don’t want to settle down already? Too many people allow themselves too much freedom to ask too many tactless questions. Completely disregarding tact and the recipients feelings, or the overall consequences of their words. If you’re not in the inner circle, then just don’t. The amount of people that are not in my inner circle that say these thighs to me, or ask me the questions – is surprisingly high. And sadly, I know that I’m not the only one. Besides not being anyone’s business, there is no reason to treat singleness like a disease, something to avoid at all costs. In addition to being offensive, all of these questions and statements are always said in such contempt. Even though being single is pretty awesome. The problem is that they do it in such a way that implies that being single is terrible, and you must be desperate to find a relationship. Singleness is often regarded as a flaw that points at how messed up you must be. And I ask WHY? Being single is no lesser, it’s actually quite awesome. Life has so much more to offer, and marriage & kids is not for everyone, and that’s okay. So let’s spread this message together, change society’s consensus and stigma. Make people stop asking these silly questions that only make singles feel worse. How about you? Do you get asked any of these questions? What other questions are you asked? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #stopasking #stopaskingus #stopaskingme #stopaskingquestions #stopaskingstupidquestions #stopaskingwhyimsingle #stupidquestions #stupidquestion #beingsingleisawesome #beingsingleisawesome #beingsingleandhappy #beingsingleisthebest #beingsingleisfun
Evolving, growing, developing and changing, they’re all a constant part of life. We’re always learning and bettering ourselves. It’s a huge part of life, just like making mistakes and failing are. We just have to learn from it and utilize it to our benefit, to do better in the future. And that’s all okay. Accepting this will make us so much happier. And understanding that just because we have much to learn and improve, doesn’t make us any less. We need to learn to be forgiving and understanding, not only towards others, but also towards ourselves. That means being patient and kind. It means working on our self empathy and accepting that we’re only human, and it’s okay to not always be 100% on our A game. That means not being so hard on yourself and not using your mistakes and shortcomings against you. It means using them as stepping stones to build up and higher. How about you? Do you work on your self empathy? Is it harder for you to be kinder to yourself than others? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #selfgrowth #selfgrowthjourney #selfgrowthquotes #selfempathy #selflovejourney #selflovefirst #loveyourselffirst #bekindtoyourself #bekindalways #bekindtoothers #bekindtoyourmind #kindnessmatters #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessquotes #beingkindquotes #embraceyourself #embraceyourself #embracethejourney #embracesingleness #embracesinglelife #betruetoyourself #betruetowhoyouare #betruetoyou #thesinglelife #thesingle #singleandproud #singleandfree
Have you ever chased toxic people? NEW BLOG POST Have you ever chased toxic people? NEW BLOG POST - How To Stop Chasing Toxic people. **🔗 in bio** Most of us have fallen victims to this mistake, I know I have done so at least once or twice, if not more. It’s so much worse when it’s someone toxic, who either has a bad influence on you, treats you bad or makes you lose sight of yourself as you obsess over them. However, it can also be someone who isn’t necessarily toxic, but just isn’t particularly good for you either. Could be you’re even bad for each other. Could be it’s someone with good intentions, but is quite oblivious and doesn’t realize that they’re making you chase. As painful and as difficult as it was for me, I learnt many great life lessons from the whole thing, and most importantly – I learned my worth and how to never ever settle or chase anyone ever again. Whether it be platonic or romantic, you should never chase anyone, no matter who they are. Especially if they make you feel bad about yourself, and worse – make you feel insane and lost. Making it through it, then growing stronger after – was a difficult journey, but one filled with many valuable life lessons. I would like to share with you these 10 steps I took to help me stop chasing, and get over the person I was chasing after... you can check them out in my latest blog. **🔗 in bio** How about you? Have you ever chased toxic people?

Have you stayed in an unhealthy relationship (or j Have you stayed in an unhealthy relationship (or just with the wrong person) for way too long, just because you were scared of being single and alone? Well, you’re not alone. So many people, including myself, get scared of singleness, mostly because of the stigmas society depicts. We’re embarrassed and ashamed by it, we avoid it like the plague. The result is, that we stay in unhealthy relationships and lose ourselves in others, we depend on them and get scared to be alone. We can’t stand ourselves. When I was first singled I had completely lost sight of who I was. I barely even recognized myself. It happens to too many people, jumping from one relationship to another without taking a break in between. We need to take the time to be alone for a while, and discover how incredible it and we can be. Learn how to enjoy our own company and practice self love. If we do it properly, we’ll attract better people and probably also find better relationships. Be better for them. And most importantly, we won’t lose ourselves. We will be able to still be true to ourselves while in a relationship. How about you? Have you lost yourself in a relationship? We’re you afraid of being single? • • • • • • • • • • • • • #fearofbeingsingle #losingyourself #losingmyself #scaredofbeingalone #beingalone #beingaloneisbetter #losesight #losingyourselftofindyourself #loseyourself #losemyself #betteralone #betteralonethaninbadcompany #betteralonethanunhappy #betteralonethanlonely #aloneisntlonely #wrongrelationship #inthewrongrelationship #unhealthyrelationships #thesingleton #beingsingleandhappy #beingsingleisachoice #singlebychoice
Being single as a whole is frowned upon. So many p Being single as a whole is frowned upon. So many people are scared of it, and constantly chase relationships. Usually jumping from one straight to another. I can maybe understand it amongst teens, there is so much peer pressure and young naivety, that it’s almost understandable. But as an adult, I got so many ‘pitty eyes’, crude and sympathy comments, and even frowns. And that’s just upsetting, because we’re in the 21st century. With the world becoming so modern, you’d think that its consensuses would be too. And despite the progress made, there are improvements that need to be made. As a single woman in her 30’s, I have learned to embrace myself and my singlehood. I learned that life is about so much more than just marrying and having kids. And while that may be one person’s calling, it may not be another’s. And that’s okay. No one should be made to feel bad or ashamed about their relationship status. I’m hoping we could all spread these consensuses and stigmas so people stop making singles feel bad or ashamed. So singles don’t feel lesser. So we all embrace ourselves and our singleness with great appreciation. How about you? What stigmas and consensuses have you felt from others? What are some that you would like to change?

Celebrating yourself and your self love is always Celebrating yourself and your self love is always a good idea. It’s probably the love that you should be celebrating first and foremost. When you learn to self love and showcase it, people will love you better. You will attract better love. And most importantly, you will be better at paying it forward. Because celebrating self love isn’t just about you, it’s about being a better you for the world and your loved ones. So don’t be sad because you don’t have a romantic love to celebrate, be happy that you have the opportunity to grow and celebrate your self love. How about you? Will you be your own Valentine?

NEW BLOG POST - Valentine’s Day For Singles **l NEW BLOG POST - Valentine’s Day For Singles **link in bio** Love should be celebrated every single day you have it, not just once a year, and definitely not only romantic love. I find that it’s a silly day that’s biggest purpose is just to spend more money. However, if you’re gonna celebrate it, then at least do it right. So instead of feeling bad for yourself and drowning in self pity for what you don’t have – celebrate the self love you do have. Even if you’re in a loving relationship – take the time during this day to also celebrate yourself and how much love you have. Check out the post for all of my ideas for things you can do to celebrate, even during the pandemic. I’ve also made a list of perfect gifts to give yourself and your loved ones. How about you? How do you celebrate Valentines? So you buy yourself a gift?

We’ve all been there. We’ve all bent over ba We’ve all been there. We’ve all bent over backwards (even though we didn’t particularly want to) to impress people that just don’t care. Or don’t deserve it. We all took opinions, statements and observations to heart, even though we shouldn’t have. We’ve all adjusted ourselves accordingly, to what people thought or expected of us. It’s okay. We have all been there and done it. But did we learn from it? Did we say enough is enough and put an end to it? If people make you feel bad for who you are, if they constantly criticize you and barely put in an ounce of effort... they gotta go. Stand your ground and demand the respect you deserve, so you can be stronger for the world around you. How about you?
