Inspirational : A message to all the single ladies.

I stumbled upon this excerpt on a Tumblr inspirational advice blog where a 16-year-old was so worried about not falling in love and thought that there must be something wrong with her for her to be single at her age. I really love the response given by the blogger herself. I really do. Most of her thoughts struck a chord and particularly rung true for me,so I thought that hey,it would be a waste not to share such positive outlook in life with each and everyone of you,regardless of your current relationship status.

" If through some stroke of fate, nobody comes to love you romantically throughout your whole life, then you know what you do have? Platonic love. Familial love. And most importantly: you have self love.
Romantic love isn’t necessary to lead a fulfilled life. There are so, so many other kinds of love out there that are just as fulfilling. The love of your friends, of your family, of people who look up to you, of strangers.
And above all that is the love you can give yourself. There is great beauty in loving yourself, in loving your own company, in appreciating being alone rather than being lonely. In being happy just in observing the world, in interactions with your own loved once and with strangers, in appreciating your own life, and in learning more about yourself than you ever would have otherwise.
That is the kind of life you could have if nobody ever falls in love with you. And, hell, that’s the kind of life you could have if somebody does, as well. There is nothing at all that is stopping you from doing and experiencing those things in that way, even if you have somebody with you to love.
If you love yourself, nobody and nothing can ever bring you down. It’s not an easy thing to achieve, but once you do, oh how worth it it is.
So when you think about it, really.. suddenly a life without being anybody’s girlfriend or wife doesn’t seem quite so terrifying. Am I right? :] "

So,do you agree with the author's train of thoughts? Singlehood should not be viewed as a curse or an indication that there is “something wrong” with you. Personally,I find it very insightful (considering that the author's only 22). Since I am also single I find myself nodding furiously in agreement as I read this. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this,so do free feel to blast away.
