Happy to be here! I cohabitated with two different boyfriends during my twenties and now I’ve been single for almost two years. I absolutely love it and honestly wish I hadn’t shacked up so quickly (life is complicated sometimes though)!

I’m glad I had those experiences though because I learned and did so much, that I know I’m not missing out on anything by being single. I’ve entered a new era of my life where I get to totally focus on me. And while I enjoy getting to know new people, my desire to date traditionally and a need to find “the one” is completely diminished.

I thought I found the one on two different occasions and I learned that I’M the love of my life. I wanted to build an amazing life with these men, and I genuinely tried. I sacrificed so much of myself to make them happy. I barely had any time for me and it was never enough for them.

Sure, I had a very different perspective of love and compatibility back then than I do now, but until that amazing, compatible, available person suddenly shows up in my life, I’m happy to be single and alone forever. Just wanted to pop in and express how excited I am to find a community like this that decenters dating and relationships.
