EXACTLYYY im genuinely so much happier when im not dating. i love being able to explore my own interests and hobbies and dreams without having to worry about anyone else. i also think having a good group of friends is 1000% more rewarding than a relationship, dating/marriage truly truly truly should never be the biggest dream of anyone’s life
Being single is fun when you have fulfilling relationships that aren’t romantic. If your friends stopped hanging out with you because they’re in relationships, they’re lame. If you leave your village entirely when u start dating that’s not good. Couples shouldn’t isolate themselves.
Pretty much all my friends have been in long term relationships for the last few years, and we do make time for each other, but there’s definitely a part of me that misses when we were all single freshmen. Their partners are their first priority, and I miss when we were that priority for each other
I’m not advocating for not sharing your life w/ people at all. I was talking about romantic relationships & being single. If you don’t want to be single because you hate it, don’t do something you hate? You tried it & decided you need a boyfriend. Okay. (I also never intended this to be about sex. I’m not saying to go try having casual sex if you don’t want to try that)
Finding a happy marriage that lasts is perfectly realistic but a woman owning her own home isn’t? I feel like these are the limiting beliefs that bother me. Yes, incredibly difficult to make ends meet in this economy, I hate this administration with me entire being. But I think there is some truth to picking your hard. My hard is home ownership, that’s all. It’s one of my life goals 🤷♀️
It fully depends on your income & the place you live’s cost of living—it’s only unrealistic if you think it’s not realistic for a woman to be financially successful & independent. I know multiple women who own homes. they aren’t 24 years old obviously, but after you have a well established career i don’t think it’s at all a nice thing to tell women its unrealistic at any point in time?
