Settling Down Late Is Better Than Settling Down With The Wrong Person
You don’t have to settle down in your twenties. You don’t have to find the love of your life while you are in high school or college. You don’t have to start your love story at an early age.
It’s better to wait until you are older to settle down with the right person than to commit to the wrong person while you are still young.
If you have only dated toxic people in the past, then you should not feel bad about being single. You should be proud of yourself for holding out for someone better. You should be happy you decided not to settle.
There is nothing embarrassing about being single in your twenties. You can be using this time to find yourself. You can be using this time to advance your career. You can be using this time to date the wrong people and learn lessons about love. There is no rule saying you should be settled down by now.
Even though everyone in your age group is starting to post pictures of their engagements and wedding dresses and sonograms, you should not feel like you are falling behind. It’s better to do something right than do it quickly. Most people aren’t lucky enough to meet their soulmate at a young age. Most people are meant to look for a little while longer.
