single
Whether you're solitary by choice or simply unlucky in love, being single is complicated.
Inside Out
I’ve heard it said a thousand times before, ‘people want what they can’t have.’ But truth be told, Ive always been to the contrary. If it’s not mine, why would I want it. If someone doesn’t want me to have ‘it’ why would I insist? Nope. I want the cards I’m dealt.

Relationship Status? Single.
"Why are you single? Why are you deciding to stay single when you have so many options?" I am consistently asked this question over and over again. Peers have told me that I am wasting so many good options waiting for the perfect person, waiting for my soul mate. I use to try to explain to them why I choose to remain single right now. However, in a society where being in relationships is glorified, me being vocal about choosing to live a single life is seen as a weakness...and can even be viewed as an excuse.

"Why Is a Girl Like You Single!?"
If I was 21 again and was sat in front of my current self now, 26, no kids, not even close to dating anyone, no social life, stressed, anxious, happy...but not happy enough, tired, self-conscious, lonely, SINGLE..... I think I honestly would be completely and utterly confused. At 21 I genuinely believed I would have kids by 25, be settled down, loving a cute chocolate man, him absolutely adoring the floor i walked on, a nice house, driving a cute car, decent job, be finished university. Oh how that is so far from reality. See the truth is, for a long time I seeked validation through having my shit together. Every aspect of my life was about how other people viewed me, and seeing old school friends having their 2nd-3rd child, settled down, with a beautiful family. Not once did i think... Lois... this is YOUR life and that is theirs.. your two completely different people....

The 7 Types of Guys I've Met on Dating Apps
Dating in my 20s sucked, but mostly because I was being rejected by guys I liked who didn't like me back. Now in my 30s, I'm being rejected by guys I like who do appear to like me back. Confusing, I know. Welcome to dating in 2020.

Being Single
I will soon warn that this text is style those magazines of women half cheesy, but that everyone likes! Who can stand to live with a half-hearted love? I tell you, many! I myself have succumbed to “before accompanied by more than just”. Do you know when this ends? When you meet a man with a capital H, those who honor the pants they wear ... but that is a theme for another text (wait).
