10 Empowering Quotes to Embrace Being Single
Where my single friends at?! Raise your hand, drop a comment, let’s get chatting! Today I’m sharing empowering quotes to embrace being single. I’m nearly 28, single, and oftentimes struggle to embrace being single. These positive and uplifting quotes help me with that though and I’m hoping they help you too!
Listen, it’s 100% okay to be single. I don’t know about you all, I, as a south Asian, was raised with the belief that I should somehow meet the man of my life (myself or through an arranged marriage) and get married in my early 20s and have a child or two by my mid twenties. HA! Boy, did I disappoint my family or what?!
It took quite some time to embrace that it was okay to be in my late 20s and single. Everyone is different. We’re all taking different paths and I’m a firm believer that things happen at the right time for everyone. Sure, it does suck sometimes. Some of my nearest and dearest have found their life partners and I do wish I was in the same boat. But hey, like I said, things will be set in motion at the right time for me. And for you!
On the other hand, there are lots of times where I enjoy being single. I love being able to focus on myself and have more time to get my sh*t together. As someone who has and to a certain point still does struggle with self esteem and confidence issues + anxiety, I try to focus on healing myself and finding inner peace. Through that journey, I truly realize I’m okay being single.
We should normalize being single at ANY age! You do you, friend. I know folks who truly enjoy being single and prefer it. It all comes down to what YOU want for YOUR life. Do your best to tune out the noise and live the life you want to live.
