Living Alone: Is it for you?

Many of us have spent the better part of our adulthood looking and searching for that one true person. The one with whom we are suppose to spend our lives with, build that magical life together, and start a family. We spend so much time focusing on having someone by our sides, that we loose sight of the rest of life. Then once we find that person and we go through the honeymoon phase of complete bliss, then the comfortable phase where we can walk around naked or fart around our mate, to the need some time apart phase or as I like to call it the divorce phase, where you can't stand one another, they get on your nerves, you have had thoughts of pushing them down the stairs, poisoning them, or even choking them in their sleep.Now your at the low point and you feel the need to be alone. You have no intentions of dating again or falling in love anymore and if one more person tries to fix you up, your go to shoot them! Now being alone has perks, like you don't have to consider someone else's feelings, you can pick the movie, the place to eat and you can focus on your needs instead of there's. But what happens when you've been alone now for months, which has now turned into years and you have started to enjoy living like this? It's not okay to be alone with no companion of some kind and just because you have been hurt a few times or many times doesn't mean that you turn yourself into a nun or a monk. Taking time off from dating is normal, but damn taking a retirement from dating is not okay, nor is it healthy. How do you expect to meet someone and get over the hurt or pain, if you stay locked or hidden from the world. Your heart may have been broken, your pride pushed to the side, but you have to realize that in relationships their are ups and downs and storms that come and go, but at the end of it all you are still standing. Don't let the idea of living alone feel like it's your only option or the only way way to keep from being hurt. The Lord takes people out of your life for a reason and he places them in your life for a reason as well. Just know that your worth more than a life of living alone and that it's their lost for not realizing how special you truly are. And, hey they always come back, whether you want them to or not!
