I have been single for almost a year now. If you would have told me a couple years ago that I would be single for this long (and probably quite a bit longer) I would have freaked out to put it lightly. The thought of being alone was terrifying to me. Who would I hang out with all the time? Who would I binge watch TV shows with? Who would be my confidante for all the stress in my life? Well now the answer to all those questions is myself! I no longer depend on a boyfriend for any of those things, I have found those things within myself. I have become my own best friend. Yes, I have girlfriends who are amazing friends but I will always be my own #1 best friend. Because at the end of the day I am the one who picks myself up off the floor, dusts myself off, and I carry on like the boss ass bitch I am. Being in a toxic relationship for almost 2 years really made me depend on my ex-partner for a lot. I lost almost all my friends and only spent time with him… I was so isolated. So, when this relationship came to an end I was left alone with only myself to depend on. I went through a dark period of depression and really struggling with having a social life again. I was so used to being isolated that I didn’t want to do anything with my friends and I had the hardest time making new friends. The past year has been a rollercoaster of emotions and my therapist has really been earning her paycheck… lol. But I am so glad I went through that period of being a lone. Although it was a very dark period for me, I came out on the other side stronger. I still go through low points and I do get sad about being single sometimes, that’s normal. But I remember all the great things already in my life! Who decided that we have to be in relationships to be happy? Because spoiler alert happiness comes from within yourself! I preach this all the time to my friends and family, but you need to love yourself before loving someone else. Take time for yourself and become your own best friend… because you do not need a damn man.
