Maybe its that I never stopped to notice or because I have jumped on the newly single band wagon, but I cant help but notice the number of couples in this little city of Townsville. With valentines day just around the corner I had an idea that my girlfriends and I would spend a night in celebration of being 'without male' and happy... but to our dismay the party would be quite a small one, it turns out there aren't many single fish in the pond any more.
I believe sometimes people drift in and out of relationships because they feel the need to "belong" to another, or a need to "be" with someone. Oftentimes, when we choose relationships based on fear of being alone, or because we feel we "need" to be with another, we bounce back and forth between relationships, never realizing what we actually want. Its almost a pressure that we should be on the search for that special someone, especially when you find yourself sitting on your own at a dinner party with all your coupled friends.
Sometimes its better to take a moment or maybe to actually spend time alone, figuring out what "our" needs are before we jump into relationships with overblown expectations or another person. Until we feel at ease with ourselves, we cannot feel comfortable with another person.....Not everyone was meant for marriage, and not everyone was meant for a relationship.
