Believe it or not, I am currently no longer single. I've said goodbye to the perks of being single and said hello to perks of another person. But I'm not going to list all of those and make everyone barf, because this isn't about that. I'm also not going to go on all nostalgic like about my single days; I would rather not drive the new fella away so quickly. Hopefully that won't happen, considering all of the lessons I've learned through the trials and tribulations of being a twenty-something.
The lesson that encompasses all of the rest: my parents were right. They kept saying "You can't really be comfortable with someone else unless you are comfortable with yourself." Truth. Embracing my awkwardness, values, and idiosyncrasies and has been the best thing I could do for any relationship, including my relationship with myself. So single sisters (and brothers) know yourself. Love yourself. And forget about the people that drag you down. Then, regardless if romances last at least your self esteem will.
