I will be 23 in a few months and I cannot fathom the slighest possibility of fully commiting to someone right now. Sure I’m currently in a wonderful relationship and I’m head over heels in love with my boyfriend, but to me, I am and will gladly remain “single” for the good amount of years that are left. Meaning I am not married, not someone’s other half, my life does not revolve around him, instead he will compliment mine. I want to be able to give myself 100% commitement to figure out who I am as a person, which I think is foremost, the most important thing one should experience on their own. There are a few things that I need to know about myself before I can honestly be true to someone else. I want to be able to experience life’s many ups and downs and see how far I can make it on my own. I need to know that I can be entirely independent, not just financially, but independent on an emotionally whole kind of sense. When they say “you have the rest of your life to be married,” I really do believe that. Just think, in a perfect relationship timeline, you have ages 18-28 in which you are technically single, then you have the years thereonafter to be married. Mathematically, that’s a ratio of 10:72 (with a life expectancy assumption of 100)! I need to be anything and everything to myself before I can give my everything for someone else. When I do fall in love and get married, I know it will be beautiful. But for now, I want to be contently waiting for that day to come and not wishing I was someplace else in life. I will be living the few years that I have left to the fullest, that’s the least I can do for myself and that’s a promise I intend to keep.
