My truth...as an intelligent, driven and beautiful woman with her own everything the timeless question always come up Why are you still single? Well it wasnt until a few months ago did my answer become clear. In my 20s I dated men who were clearly not on my level, yet based on my own low self esteem and wanting to not be alone I settled. I tolerated emotional, financial, verbal and even physical abuse in some cases to be able to be apart of the in a relationship group! I have turned down countless proposals and broke off what appeared to be good situations because they were nor good for me, nor did they feel right. At the time some of my friends and family thought I was nuts, yet fast forward several years if I would have stayed with or married those individuals I would either be divorced by now or very unhappily married. So after several painful years of realizing I wasnt getting what I wanted and deserved, I decided I would stay single until I could be totally happy with myself first and I no longer looked for someone to complete me, yet to compliment and help equally improve that which I already have. My world has changed tremendously by letting go of toxic relationships and people who were killing my spirit and purpose. No relationship is ever worth losing yourself. So as I reach yet another year in my 30s now happily single I can confidently wear my singleness as a badge of honor instead of shame knowing I stopped settling and when the right time and right person arrives in my life it will be all that I deserved. They will be someone who understands me completely and who celebrates my crazy, uniqueness, emotional ness, sass and all. #Focus #SheWerks #LAin2014
