Why I Choose to Thrive in My Singleness!

I’ve noticed something on social media. When women talk about their marriages in a positive light – e.g., I love my husband; I’m dedicated to my marriage; he protects and provides for me; he covers and cares for me; He accepts me as I am; he’s the best thing that ever happened to me; etc. – there are always a lot of likes and positive comments on the post.

People are glad and happy for these women. They wish them the best. They comment that they’re waiting for the same; they can’t wait until it’s their turn!

But when I make a post sharing something wonderful about my life as a single woman – e.g., pursuing a hobby or passion I’ve always wanted to try; checking off a dream, “bucket list” destination; or being able to indulge in some self-care because I’ve been working hard and need some “Me” time, it’s crickets. There are very few likes, comments, or shares.

And it leaves me wondering, “What’s the difference?” Married women are allowed – no, not just allowed, but encouraged to be happy in their marriage, but I can’t be happy in my singleness?

Tune in to find out what’s really at the root of this difference in responses and why – despite my desire to marry someday – I choose to water the grass on my side of the fence, bloom where I’m planted, and live my most joyful and fulfilling life. Not when I get married, but right now, as a single woman!
