HAPPY BEING SINGLE

I was in a relationship over a year with a man that said he loved me, yet cheated on me. It was a messy break up. After this I found myself alone.

I'm  now 47 and single!

No I am not scared. I remember when I was younger that I was used to being on my own. So having someone around wasn't that important to me. I found that peace was most important. Sometimes as women we get used to sharing and having someone around.

Reality is I am my own person, if I can't enjoy being single, how can I enjoy being with someone else? So I started enjoying me. I became happier, I felt free, no drama and I really begin to enjoy life.

Realizing being single gave me time to be myself with myself. I had to let go of the past and appreciate the present. Enjoying my me time, I reconnected to my self value. I am better then just settling to have someone in my life.

Being single doesn't mean you are alone. If you are lucky you may have a good support system with family and friends. Maybe you don't have the supportive group but you do have something that you love doing and you've got God.

Sometimes being single is a call to focus on yourself.  At times in relationship we lose ourselves. Maybe you had goals that you set on the back burner because of the relationship or you lost your identity. Now that you are single you can concentrate on finding and developing who you are.

I have found now my life has balance. I found out everything in life is a process. I am starting over. Guess what it feels good. My dreams are no longer on hold, I have so much freedom, less stress and I am truly living. Don't be afraid because you will find what you were missing and you will know what you want from a relationship if you decide to get in one. 

​Love yourself first and the love you want will be there.
