Also, contrary to every women's magazine in the Western world, being single isn't a disease. I know it seems that way. We can't help but live in a society that demonizes those who aren't in a relationship or constantly seeking one, but you don't have to listen to it. Long periods of being single are common. There's nothing to be ashamed of for prioritizing your life to meet your non-love goals, which is also what you should be doing. Are you?

Be the confident girl who knows what she wants and pursues it forthrightly. Take chances, go outside your comfort zone, and live with as few regrets as possible until that girl bursts free.
