![]() Give or take a false start of two, I have not had a ‘proper’ boyfriend for nearly 8 years. Am I bothered? No. It horrifies some people though. I believe I still experience true love every day even though I am single. Love is a sense of togetherness within our self or our spirit. When we know we belong here and now, in our own skin, in our own lives. Sometimes we meet another person and a bond is made. If the minds meet in true synchronicity a loving relationship is created. We can focus on the need for someone else to make us happy, afraid to be alone, of our own company. Or we can look within and provide ourselves with the support, acceptance and love that will make us truly happy. Love is everywhere, in every act and in every exchange of energy. You can choose to see the loneliness, the evil and unjust, the hatred, war and famine; to see the lack; to see singledom as a failure to be frustrated by or pitied. Or you can see the love in every sanctuary offered to those in need, every act of fearless courage, of protection, charity and kindness; to see the abundance of love available for us all; to see singledom as an opportunity to grow. We are capable of sharing love with everyone whenever possible. When we do this we are never alone. See you next week Charlotte

Very wise advice. I was signal for what seemed like an interminable time but slowly I began to realize that I liked my life. More importantly I fell in love with me. :D I am in a relationship now that is long distance (he lives 5 hours from me) so we don't see each other that often. But there is none of the crazy, roller coaster stuff. And I love that. :D

I totally love this. I've been single for about five years and I've heard all of the same things. People find it hard to believe that I can find any sort of contentment, let alone joy, but at this point I'm so used to it and I never really feel like anything is missing.

As I was reading this, I was wishing that it could reach the many people in early adulthood - just out of college, in college, some even in high school. There is such a strong and opposite message to what you have shared that, I think, leads people to serial monogamy, fear of being lonely, accepting a situation that is not ideal, not knowing one's self. This is a tonic! I'm truly happy for your choice to enjoy your life - man or not!

Thank you Crystal. I guess as we get older we gain confidence to live how we want to. I would love this to reach more people, not sure how to go about it though! Any ideas would be appreciated, I will have a think this afternoon.

I love this. I searched for my connection to Source through my relationships with others for many years before I finally grasped what you talk about in your blog. I am responsible for my own happiness.

It is nice to have a kindred soul in this ... we don't need to be paired off to be complete and being single is a great time to grow into the real you and in turn become really ready for that amazing person that is out there somewhere for us. I am happy living life and letting fate play it's hand.

It's so good to see this! I've been single for years, and sometimes even I start to wonder if there's something up with me...and I do something stupid like joining a dating site that I don't want to be on to wade through hundreds of people I have no intention of spending any of my precious time with! Then I realise, I'm really happy to be single...and I have been for years. If I meet someone I want to get in a relationship with, great. If not, cool, because being single isn't sad or lonely - it's joyous and love-filled...or can be. Great post lovely! xx
