On being single
As I said in my previous post, I'm happy being single for the time being. Key phrase, for the time being. While I'm not in any rush to settle down into a relationship, it still feels like my life is 'unfinished' without it. I don't think I could be fully content and fulfilled as a single person, especially knowing how much meaning a loving relationship could bring to my life.
Some might argue that this is an unhealthy way of thinking, that another person can't 'complete' you, and that you should learn to be happy on your own. Sure, but I think it's only natural to dream of spending your life with another person. Maybe even building a family with them.
In that sense, singleness is kind of like a transient phase. It's a state of uncertainty, not having a clue how your life will unfold. People in relationships have a sense of stability and comfort that I just don't have yet.
The point of this post is not to complain about being single. I'm only 23 and I have loads of time to find the person I'd like to settle down with. But I just wanted to explain that my life feels a bit uncertain because of it. I yearn for more, and I know in my heart that the right person is out there somewhere.
PS, for those of you that were wondering how the date went, she was lovely but I don't think I really envision myself being with her. One day I will find the right person, but until then, I will wait.
