Our humanity cries for deep connection with other human beings, it's our instincts. We are programmed for love. and many times that instinct comes with a price of a broken heart or disappointment. Sometimes the aching to be in a relationship is so strong people can convince themselves "my life will only be better when I am with someone, or they will make me a better person" or feel that they are a failure because they could not hold the relationship. Many people may feel tired of being hurt over and over again or fear of rejection. These symptoms are part of what I call single fever. People can create basically a mentality that the only ways things are better is if your in a relationship. However, they couldn't be more wrong. I personally do not believe in soul mates because I think everyone has an opportunity to choose with their free agency what they want to do. whether it means hurting you or not. My treatment for single fever would be to remember who you are, the potential you have to become, and your desires for yourself. When your single get yourself ready and practice being the strongest and best person you can possibly be. Because by the time the next romantic relationship possibility occurs not only will you be more attractive but also an even better person for them. Use that time to be closer to god, to learn new skills, to work on bad habits, and etc. We don't have to wait around waiting for a prince/princess to sweep us off our feet. We need to use the time to better ourselves so we are ready for when they come and what they deserve. If we better ourselves then we can shake this fever from our lives.
