It can sometimes feel daunting to know that we create our own happiness and it can also be the most empowering. You can feel empowered that you're single because toxic or shallow relationships won't do. Develop your standards and your worth. Go on "self-dates" and take new actions (whatever feels new to you). Take steps to build your confidence to let you know that you care about your "future-self". Remember how grateful you feel of having washed the dishes when you were tired just to have more extra free time without a nagging worry? It's like that in small steps that get built on each other for your foundation of well...YOU! You read about self-development, take on a new hobby, a trip, or check out a local event near by. Their all experiences that inform you of who you are. So that when you're not single, if you choose to be in a relationship, you get to share that. Time with yourself is never time wasted.

When you are single, you have an endless amount of opportunity. A lot of people often feel tied down when they're in a relationship and feel like they don't have the same freedoms as single people. Take advantage of this and go out into the world. Who knows? You may find someone to date. The future is uncertain, so don't be too stressed out if you don't find a partner anytime soon. There's a lot less to deal with and you get to have more time to yourself. as long as you're happy, more and more good things find their way to you.
