Summary

When you’re not legally bound to another person, you have the freedom to learn, grow, and explore, without any of the guilt associated with taking time for self-care. And the payoff there is that if you do decide you'd like to pair off with someone, you know exactly who you are and what you want. The reality is, 110.6 million Americans ages 18 or older (or 45.2 percent) are single, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau—a number that’s been rising since 2015. And people are staying single longer than ever before; in 2018, the highest median ages ever for a first marriage were reported: 30 years for men and 28 years for women. So why does everything somehow revolve around finding "the one?" and why does it seem like people are obsessive over finding love. Why isn't being single enough?  Resources: How to support BLM: https://www.timeout.com/things-to-do/how-to-support-black-lives-matter Black mental health resources: https://twitter.com/testtubeplush/status/1337231680679993344 Therapy Sources: Primary Care Physician, IG: @Betterhelp, Employee assistance programs and therapyforblackgirls.com OTHER LINKS:  https://www.oprahmag.com/life/relationships-love/a27790346/benefits-of-being-single/ https://inspiringtips.com/reasons-to-enjoy-being-single-in-your-20s/ Socials: Interact with us!

This is a part of me that people rarely get to see because it’s so dear to my heart and keeps me grounded in every situation. I didn’t grow up reading but as I got older I wanted to know more, I had so many questions that I needed answers too and books always seemed to have the perfect explanation and solution for life problems.
