Don't Need Him

Okay, so I saw this post on facebook the other day and had only one thing in mind 'This person is one bloody happy soul'. No, really. When you see all those lovey dovey couples, either on social sites or in real life, it's natural to get envious. Or nauseous.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against love. But do I really need say it out loud whether ALL these couples are really 'in love'?  Or even happy? No sweeties, of course not. Being taken does not mean being happy. It only means you're sharing your life with someone who can kiss you anytime without you slapping them in return.
Did you laugh at that? You didn't? Sorry, but all this is coming from a girl who's been single for the sixteen years of her life. And spent fifteen of these years thinking she wasn't good enough for anyone out there. But lately I've realised that you don't need to be 'good enough' to be in love. That would, in fact, set a bar as to who can fall in love and who cannot. And, trust me, you are already good enough, absolutely perfect the way you are. If a guy (or a girl) can't accept the way you are, or should I put it as, someone who'd like to change you, well, let's say, they don't deserve you. At all.
Even though I like the image above, I also believe that if you're truly happy being single, you don't have to announce it like that. Your true self doesn't need declarations.
This is a request to all those single birdies out there. Please, please don't be miserable just because you don't have a partner. It's much better to wait than to get into a shitty relationship. Those who've already suffered this fate and are now alone, would hopefully understand. No matter how lonely or helpless you feel at times, it's much better not to have someone by your side who'll only make it worse.
