"It takes more courage to stay single than be in a relationship", so said one of the guys at the dinner last night. He was talking about the movie "The Leap Years", and that is the message behind the show.
That statement is so true! How often does one find someone to be with, even if the person is not the best for him / her? Everyone is afraid of loneliness, and I know pretty well how alone one can feel when all your peers are attached and married, and you are dateless, and have to be resigned with spending festivals without a special someone by your side.
Maybe that is why there are more and more broken relationships lately. When people are younger, they just go with anyone who wants to be with them, without thinking through properly whether the person is really suitable. Everyone has made that mistake some point in their lives, including me.
In the end, everything is not worth it because one ends up wasting their time, their youth, their emotions, hoping things would change but never did. It takes courage to break away, to be alone, to know that you want to be involved only with the right person and not just mere anyone.
And that is what I am learning and trying to do. Even though my social life is almost non-existent at this point in time, I am still holding up for the right person. Not the perfect person, but the right person, because the right person may not be perfect, and the perfect person may not be right. Which is why I am reluctant to settle with anyone else, because I do not want to be with anyone second best.
