I’ve never experienced being in love because I don’t want to lose myself. And that’s a statement. I am young, I have fire in me, I want to achieve things and the way I’m saying it might seem self centred or selfish but the truth is I’m okay with being alone, I’m at peace.

There is so much pressure for people to be in relationships, to be with someone, and some people, because of that, can’t for the life of them be alone. They are lost and they do not who they are because they have always been with someone else.

We should learn to be alone with ourselves before we get into a relationship. Being alone is okay -don’t shame people for being alone and don’t feel bad for being single. Enjoy life the way you want – whether that’s doing what excites you, learning new things, being friends…
