Ladies, it is OK to be alone in your mid-20s .....

We all know the feeling. Reaching office at 10 and checking our Facebook feed on phone, overwhelmed and equally bored to find it filled with marriage invitations, old friends vacationing and our ex resorting to PDA with his newfound catch. So much is happening around us and we are just existing, wondering why we have to deal with everything alone. Yes, we have all been there, looking out of the window, wondering about the purpose of life. Searching for a meaning. So glamorous are our own Instagram feeds and yet we know nothing lies below this shiny glitter.

....To feel adored. To feel loved

Life is not as happening as we thought it would be. As soon as we got out of college, we had all thought of the parties we wanted to let our hair down at, the Chanel No. 5, the Louis Vuitton bag we wanted to buy and of course, the one person we wanted to hold hands and walk the Marine Drive with. But, nothing happened. Or probably, nothing happened like we imagined. We drank responsibly, did household chores with our flatmates, and saved every penny before the next big indulgence. In addition, dating, it never seemed too pointless before. Not one of these guys ever understood our need to feel accepted. To feel appreciated.

....Tell yourself that you don’t need someone who might make you feel pretty and important.

But my dearest, do not get caught in this self-pity mode. Understand that there is so much ahead of you. You have so much left to do. Let it go because life is just waiting to happen. You have books to read, places to travel, people to meet. You are just 20 something. Things take their own sweet time to happen. So, breathe. In ten years, when you look back, you’ll wish you were here again. But its time you don’t wear those rose tinted glasses anymore. Accept the imperfections in life and move on. I know it is much easier to say than execute. But tell yourself that you will not reach out to your phone to make that one call that I will regret the next morning.

....Don’t live with “Could-have-been’s.” Take chances.

But let’s say you did pick up your phone to call the wrong person, do not hateful yourself. Because we have been there, too. We’ve made that call. We’ve texted that wrong person. We’ve woken up with regrets. We still do. It’s only human. So please, don’t hate yourself. And don’t stop. Don’t stop loving with all you have. Don’t stop wishing on every shooting star. Do the simple things. Stop procrastinating. Take a walk with nature. Go to the gym. Read your favorite book for the millionth time. Watch a movie. Write your novel. Sketch until you’re better than the best. Eat like you’re dying tomorrow. And most importantly, make mistakes. Your heart will heal. But today will never be back again.

So Ladies, Actually it is AMAZING to be alone in your mid-20s
