1. You might not have a boyfriend, but you are already loved — by family, by friends, by pets, by the universe.

2. There is more to this world than whether you have a ring on your finger.

3. Your relationship status does not define you as a person, your heart does.

4. Half of the ‘happy couples’ who make you jealous are secretly miserable.

5. You are strong, intelligent, talented, dedicated, the list goes on and on. What I’m saying is you are a catch.

6. It’s better to be alone than to date someone who makes you feel lonely.

7. You aren’t even close to being the only girl in her twenties still looking for love.

8. Even if you reach your fifties and still haven’t found your person, that doesn’t mean you’re going to die alone.

9. Everyone reaches their milestones at different ages.

10. You are not behind.

11. You are not any less valuable than your friends who are happily married.

12. You should never let rejection harden your soft heart.
