I’ve Been Single for Two Months

It hasn't been easy

I did it.

It’s been nearly two months since I set myself the challenge of staying boy-free for 30 days.

That might not seem like a difficult objective to some, but for me it was. And I’m proud of myself for shooting right past that finish line.

Truthfully, it hasn’t been easy. As I mentioned last week, I’ve felt an undercurrent of loneliness in past months, making it tempting to ‘relapse’ (i.e., hit up the last person I was seeing for some easy company).

But I haven’t done that (admittedly, there were a few close calls though).

I’m excited to keep this single streak going.

As much as I love having a ‘person,’ it’s also been nice to live for a while without boy-related stress and just focus on my goals. During this time alone, I’ve been able to dedicate more of my waking hours to meditating, reading, and deepening my understanding of spirituality.

The good news is that I’ve genuinely loved it.

And though in any future relationship I intend on making time for those things, I’m grateful for the opportunity to build up a solid foundation on my own.

So, right now, I have two priorities: keep working towards building my dream life and learn how to find peace in my own company.

Devoting the time to cultivate an ease within myself may just be one of the greatest gifts I can give myself.

After all, my own consciousness is the only constant I can count on in life.
