Pretty much what the title says - I'm a single 25 year old and I often find myself crippled with anxiety about ending up alone, having nobody to love me and to love, and never getting to experience the little joys of romance, partnership and stability. Because, let's face it, the world is built for couples. 

The fact that I even typed out that last sentence bothers me! This year I want to learn to be okay with the idea of being alone. Maybe there is somebody for me out there, maybe there isn't. I want to stop having thoughts like 'well ofc you're alone, what do you have to offer!'. I want to stop desperately looking for blogs and tiktoks about single 35 year olds and feeling so damn relieved when I see that they're thriving and going about their lives, and even getting married ('so maybe it's okay for me to be single at 35!'). I want to stop being a cynic. I want to be kinder to my friends who are happily in love and only want to share their happiness with me - not necessarily flaunt it. I want to stop taking pride in 'being like a rock', and be flexible and smooth like water instead. I want to go with the flow instead of trying to figure out what kind of salary I'd need to have at the age of 35 to buy my own house in my dream city. 

I want to know in my heart of hearts that I'll be okay, even if I'm not everything I want to be yet.

Any tips?
