When I first became single again, I felt like it was such a relief. I didn't have to answer my phone all the time or constantly check my phone for texts. I felt like these invisible chains that tied me to someone were now broken, and it was such a relief. Unfortunately, a couple of months passed, and I began to miss the idea of having a boyfriend--someone who's always there to talk to you and comfort you, someone who can relate to you on multiple levels... After that, singlehood felt like a curse. I felt like I was always alone with no constant companion.
It's funny how things work out. A few months later, and I'm totally fine with being single with no prospects in sight. I'm smelling the flowers while I can and enjoying my time not having to be accountable to anyone or relying on someone for basic needs. When the time comes that I find that I need to rely on a boy for some of my problems, then I'll know I'm ready to be back in a relationship. But until that time... I'll be okay :)
