Go Out There

3:49 AM

I was casually chilling outside, listening to my friends' dating stories, and all of a sudden a mutual friend asked me, "Why don't you try going out there, Q? Get a tinder or something."

And I guess that sparked the Why I am Single post. I'm not sure why it bothers me till now. Just because I am 20, doesn't mean that I need to have a boyfriend. Barbara Palvin was single for a very long time, Ariana Grande had so much to go through but she ended up loving herself and prioritising herself first.

Why don't people understand that most of us are very happy this way? I see my friends who broke up with their boyfriends, which really impacts their mental health, and I can't really help because I don't know what to say.

Of course I go out there, anyway. But probably in a different context. I go out there and tried out Beginner Jazz last year when I had zero clue on what the f jazz is. I only knew jazz is a music genre, not a dance. I go out there to a triathlon social, literally not knowing anyone but I did anyway. I go out there to apply as a Warwick Ambassador, eventually getting it because they were inspired by my story.

So yes, I do go out there. I go out there to live my life. Time is short, my friends.

And I really love this advice my friend Victoria gave me. She said, love comes unexpectedly. I really hope people understand to leave me alone and let me live my life the way I want to, and appreciate me for me.
