Reading many posts online on how ideal relationships should look like, everyone has comments, criticisms, advice, crazy ideas? (guess, hot topic around Valentine’s Day)!
Being single or being in a relationship are both valid options for living one’s life, one alternative isn’t better than the other. Why do we always judge, to each their own?
The way we choose to love can be as unique as the way we choose to make a living or maintain our health. Some seek out a perfect mate to enter into a partnership, while others find satisfaction in staying single.
There’s no right or wrong alternative when it comes to deciding whether or not to be in a relationship. What matters is people feel immensely free to choose, be comfortable with their choices, it’s impact on their current/future.
Being single is a wonderful way to discover, develop, nurture self. More time, space, spontaneity to explore, create, invent. Humble pride in facing life on one’s own terms. A level of companionship, support can be found while spending quality time with friends, relatives, community.
Choosing a real mate brings an opportunity to share self deeply with another. Sense of security to face the world as a united front. When life’s challenging, compassionately inspire, motivate, strengthen one another. Inevitable self-expansion, evolution, experiences from allowing another to so intimately be a part of one’s life.
Also, people transition between wanting to be with another or wanting to be alone, over the course/phases in lives based on their needs, dreams, desires, passions, self-awareness, self-reflections, self-growth.
What matters most is we embrace life authentically, fully, generously. Ensure it’s truly fulfilling, delightful, abundant, joyous, playful at it’s core.
