Don’t Base Your Life on Relationships

I see it all the time. If someone’s not in a relationship, they make it their number one goal to be in one. They do this because they think they need a boyfriend/girlfriend to be happy. I hope I don’t have to tell you this, but that is not true! There are so many more things in life to be happy about; friends, family, hobbies, pets, school(if that’s your thing!), and so much more.

Now, I’m not saying it’s bad to be in a relationship. If it’s a good one, then relationships can be so much fun. But, what I am saying is not to make it a top priority if you’re not in one. You might think you’re not cool or not wanted if you don’t have a boyfriend. I can speak for myself and say that I have felt that before. It took me a long time to realize that if I stopped focusing on that and focused more on other things, like friends, jobs, and being successful, then the relationship part of life just kind of happens on its own.

So this one is short and sweet. I say this all the time on here, but I’ll say it again. You don’t need a guy to make you happy! When you look back on being young, would you rather remember all the good times with friends(maybe some that turned into lifetime friends), or just try and remember who you were dating in which grade? I’m gonna go with the first one. I hope you do too.
