relationships

I realized that it's been a while that I have been single. Just after ending with someone in HS, I'm in another relationship in the beginning of college (now).

(even tho my goal is to not have a bf for the next 2 years until junior year...fail)

Someone special and someone who had the characteristics of someone I've been waiting for happened to like me back, so I can't let the chance slip away, right?

Although I'm happy and perfectly satisfied in the relationship, I wonder what I'm missing out for being single.

As much as you want to believe that you still have freedom when you're in a relationship, it's a trap.

#1Truth: You are limited and more refined when in a relationship than when you're single.

Reason: It's no longer about what YOU want as an individual, it's what YOU and HIM wants. Your decisions impacts not just YOU, but also HIM.

Overall: That's just a con but many pros completely outweigh the cons if you're with the right person. (if there's enough trust and love, freedom and restrictions shouldn't be an issue)

#2Truth: Don't LOOK and try so hard to find that special someone, because enjoy being single while you're single! When you're in a relationship, there's another layer of maturity that you need to be able to handle and not everyone's ready for it!

Reason: Unlike school, you HAVE to deal with the stress from school and mostly likely, school isn't an option, so you just have to deal with it. Well.....not relationships. YOU CHOOSE TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP. you're never forced into one. Since having a bf isn't a necessity, you can avoid the stress, conflicts, drama etc.

Overall: like all situations, there's give and take for all situations, and having a bf is just another give and take situation. there are PROS and CONS. you could be missing out on the experience of love and connection and trust and bond (did someone say physical attractions too?)

LIFE AS WE LIVE IT

-When you have pros, you will always have cons that follow.

-When you have best moments of you're life, you definitely have had some sort of depressing phase as well. Life is a hill and that's LIFE!

-It's okay! life is relative. you won't enjoy the happy moments as much if the sad moments didn't exist.
