Some people tend to leave their personal lives behind especially when it comes to blogging. But there comes a time when you have this big realization and you know you have to share it with strangers, because who knows, it might actually help them.
I think it's time to put myself out there. To tell the world that yes, I am a single girl, who sometimes ends up being the third, fifth and sometimes even the seventh wheel when I go out with friends. Sometimes I do get lonely and its hard to admit that, because people might think "you're such a drama queen for even sharing this kind of information to the public". There are times when I have so much stories and experiences to share, and no one to listen to it. I have so much passion and ideas that I want to dole out and no one to fully support me and ride my insane thoughts with me. I feel like I have so much love to give, and no one to give it to.
But I realized that I don't need a certain individual to be able to share these things. I realized that if you don't have someone to give your love to, then give it to the world. There are so many people who need your love, people who are struggling with life who just want a little bit of relief, people who just want to feel better. Give love, and don't expect anything in return. Spread kindness & compassion, give encouragement & comfort. The fulfillment is 10x bigger than the romantic love people long for, because you're passing it on instead of keeping it to yourself.
If you feel like you don't think you can do this just yet, here's a reminder that I got from a novel, "You have the capacity to someday love the whole world". Take as much time to heal, and when you're ready, go for it!
I'll end this post by saying, that even if I don't know you, even if we've only met once, or just passed each other on the street, even if I don't exactly know what you're going through, I love you.
I'm so proud of you, dear. I know I speak for the world when I say, I love you too!
