Sometimes I sit in social situations and realise I’m the only one who is single. When did everyone start settling down, coupling up, having kids and just doing all the things that require some paperwork somewhere along the line. Perhaps it’s all been whilst I’ve been on holiday…?
BE YOUR OWN BAE
Treat Yo’self
Dine Solo
Invest in yourself
Travel
Self Care
Volunteer
Learn/listen to something that discuss relationships in a positive (and negative light) for example…
- The Receipts Podcast – I absolutely LOVE this series featuring four smart and funny girls discussing the perils of relationships, being a female and life in general.
- Sex & the City – One of my guilty pleasures; I reckon I’m the Miranda…
- BKChatLDN – Be warned some of the opinions on here are trash but it’s a good watch… ♻️
At the end of the day, the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. If it means taking a break from certain things or certain people to find out what you want or don’t want, so be it.

This post is just so good, being your own bae is the best! I’ve braved solo-dining and travelling the last couple of years and it makes me feel so much more powerful! The best date I went on was with myself to the best mexican place and then to watch Wicked in London. Who needs another half?!

I love this post. Just because getting married or having a baby is one persons goal doesn’t make it everyone’s. I am nearly 30 and still have no plans of settling down, especially when there is so much of the planet left to explore!

Absolutely adore this post, it’s so true about loving yourself and having a positive relationship with SELF. So many people get into relationships and rely on others to make them happy, like no get YOUR shit together first. And also just FYI I tried the settling down and have kids thing and it didn’t work out for me, so I’m super happy being single and free right now (if that makes you feel any better!)
