Today's prompt is very interesting. :) I'm single. And at this very moment I'm okay with that. For the last years I've struggled with being single. When I was younger I felt like I needed someone to be with to be happy. I've only been in one relationship before, if you call a four-mont-summer-flingish-thing a relationship. During those months, it felt nice to hang out with him, or to get a morning text, but now I realized that I was scared of what I was feeling with this guy, and I hit the panic button. We got busy with school and work, and slowly we stopped seeing each other.

Lately, I've been thinking why am I still single. Sometimes I get frustrated at the world because I haven't found a guy. But the person I should be frustrated at should be me. I guess I haven't been really trying to meet guys. I rarely go out, and when I do I just want to have fun with my friends, not out on prowl for some guy. lol.

Then I ask well, why aren't you trying? you complain that you are single, but you aren't trying. I don't know why I'm not trying. Maybe its because I'm scared of what could happen if I do meet a guy. Maybe, and I know this for a fact, that I don't know where to meet these guys. And I think one of the main reason why I might not be looking is because I'm focusing on myself. Working on finding myself personally and professionally. 

I think one of the things I love the most about being single, is that I can be selfish and better myself. To accomplish my dreams. Being in a relationship is amazing, wanting a relationship is not bad, but right now, at this particular moment, I'm okay and happy being single. You don't need to be in a relationship to be happy. Maybe being happy with yourself first, can add that much  more happiness to your relationship when that right person comes along.

What is your relationship status?

Singledom + Valentine's Day = Awesomeness {5 Things To Do}

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!!!! I hope your day is filled with lots of love!!
When I was little I loved Valentine's Day. I loved making Valentine's Day cards and candy baggies for my classmates and friends. As I got older, and had no boy during VDAY, I lied to myself and pretended that I was indifferent for VDAY. 
But as a single gal, who says I have to sulk on the one day of the year filled of balloons, flowers, pink and red, and kisses.

Here are my 5 things, us, single ladies can do on Valentine's Day: //one// Grab your unattached friends and have the best time of your life. Remember Valentine's Day is the day of love and friendship. Spend your night with your besties. Embrace the Single Awareness Day.
//two// I know it might sounds scary, I still need the gather the guts to do this, but you're single and ready to mingle right?? hit the town alone. You never know who you might meet.
//three// Buy something nice for yourself. Who says you need a guy to buy things. Okay maybe it would be nice. But buy yourself something nice and celebrate how amazing you are. And wear it while you go out for ONE or TWO.
//four// Feel like staying in? Catch up on your TV shows. Rent some movies. Watch Netflix. Bake some goodies. Invite some friends. Sip some wine. Let your hair down. and Kick your shoes off. Nothing says perfection than a night in after a long week. 
//five// Try something new. Cook something new. Try a new workout. Take a cooking class, or a dance class, or an art class. Try a new lipstick. A new hairstyle.Take the time to love yourself.
