I really loved this. It’s such a good reminder that being single isn’t something to rush through but a season to actually enjoy.

It’s powerful how you shift the narrative from being single = something to fix, to single = something to cherish. It made me think how much joy there is in this time, in building a relationship with yourself.

The way you framed it made me wonder how much beauty there is in doing life for yourself. Choosing things that make you feel alive and grounded. It’s refreshing to read something that celebrates this stage instead of treating it like a waiting room for love.

Thanks for this encouragement. It feels like permission to slow down, breathe, and see what single life can be, rather than what it β€œshould” look like.πŸ’œ

I’ve had this lingering thought…or knowing: that I’ve been looked after in my twenties, given the abundance of friendships I’ve acquired, most of whom I view in the same light as my siblings. And…to be given the chance to fall in love with friendships, to delve in deep with the connectionsβ€” it really takes you away from this place of feeling alone and believing you need someone to fill the role of β€œsignificant other”. This…all coming from a self-proclaimed serial lover girl 🧚🏾 I enjoyed this read <3

MANEESHA, THIS IS YOU AT YOUR BEST! YOU BROUGHT A LITTLE OLD MAN-TEAR TO MY EYES! You nailed it. Thanks to the Lord and YOU, I'm joyous. Oh, of course we humans can have a bit of lonliness, but not much. I live alone, but I've been promised a sexy, loving woman. (God is accepting of consensual, harmless sex)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these words of yours. They spoke straight into my heart and I noticed by every word read, how my being uplifted and got inspired to actually look at single-hood with a complete new set of eyes πŸ₯°

Thank you for that
