A lot of times people will make you feel bad..like you're less, like you're missing something, because you aren't in a relationship. Don't get me wrong, a good, healthy relationship can be an amazing blessing..or at least, I assume so from what I've seen others experience. But I don't think a relationship is the end-all, beat-all accomplishment of a person's life/20s.
People will make you feel like less for being single..but it is my contention that it can take a lot more to know how to be single than to constantly be in a relationship just because you can't handle being alone. I've seen so many people my age (and older) in recent years who seem to jump from one silly relationship to the next, with seemingly anyone who will go for it, just because they hate being single so much. Being single can be tough..very tough. But I just don't get why society (or at least our society) seems to value a relationship, [whether anyone will admit it or not] for its own sake over knowing how to be single and wait on a relationship that actually makes sense. Since when is the better person the one who does the easier thing?
