Whether you're solitary by choice or simply unlucky in love, being single is complicated.
I Have Forgotten What It Means to Love Myself
When it comes to the subject of men I’ve found myself incomprehensibly inept. Must come with the territory of so-called “daddy issues.” Where others seem to excel, I remain a floundering fish out of water, bouncing around from man to man hoping that the next will hold the key to the chastity belt around my heart. And yet, it seems that for me, finding love is just out of arm's reach.

Put Me First
So, today was an alright day. Yesterday, I got stood up by a guy whom I love. As a result, today was kind of hard. I've noticed that every time I love a guy, I always get hurt. Only, when I get hurt it makes a whole whirlwind for me. My mind goes into this depressive state. Who else has been there?

Now It's My Turn
All throughout school, I had a friend who I trusted with everything. I still do. He was the one person that I knew I could always call or text when I wasn't feeling myself and just needed someone to listen or whenever something amazing had happened. He would always listen and try his best to help, no matter the situation. We talked about anything and everything, ups and downs, family struggles, high school drama, homework, even relationship problems. That last one is the one that makes me a terrible person. See, I knew that he actually had wanted to be more than friends for a pretty long time. He wasn't shy about his feelings and he had told me on multiple occasions how he felt. But I was always hung up on other people who weren't worth my time. And there he was, always ready to listen to my latest failed attempt at a relationship and try to pick me up.

Am I That Hideous and Repulsive?
It seems that whenever I need to think or clear my head, the best thing for me to do is hop in my car and just drive aimlessly. By that, I meant that I don't have any particular destination, but I would like to get anywhere very safely. It is just the fact that my 1992 Jeep Cherokee has become my rolling think tank.

Married Couples Are So Lucky!
As I am writing this, I am looking at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and his beautiful bride Princess Meghan. All the media has prepared and televised the event. I can clearly see that both bride and groom are ecstatic with each other as well as they should be. Even though I do not know either of them, I am very happy for them. I wish them well.

What I Have Learned from Being Alone
As a middle and high schooler, I constantly compared myself to other girls and how they had boyfriends. I usually would feel insecure about it, because well, I never had one. I would wonder, "Why doesn't anyone ask me out? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not skinny enough? Do boys not think I am cool enough, or nice enough, or smart enough?" It was always a back and forth thing that ultimately led to me hating myself... these questions always targeted my biggest insecurities and held me back even more.
