I appreciate how mature you've approached this topic, with real wisdom. and such a calm demeanor Too many people just screeching in tiktoks about being single-they come off so entitled and childish. You've got a good head on your shoulders and will be a great partner to someone when you're ready. Don't rush it-who we choose to partner up with is one of the most impactful decisions we'll make in life, so not to be taken lightly. You're way ahead of most in the ways of thinking about all these topics. And being comfortable solo is a huge advantage. That way you only let in people that add to your life, not just to avoid loneliness. All the best to you Chanelle!
Thank you so much 🩵 your words are so kind. And yes 100% agree that choosing a partner is one of the biggest life decisions and something worth waiting on.
32 and single It does get tough seeing everyone move around moving forward in life, still incredibly grateful for the blessings I do have, God bless you 🙏
I turned 38 years old last month and I was in a long term relationship which lasted over 3 years that ended a few months ago and it's better to be single than being with someone who makes you feel alone. Take your time and don't force anything. You're still young and beautiful, Chanelle. There are plenty of birds in the sky. Sending love ❤️ from Miami, Florida
I love the point you made about romantic relationships not being the only source of happiness. You said “this might seem obvious,” but I don’t think it is to everyone. The pressure put on single people (often from older people) sometimes makes it feel that way. And maybe others didn’t do the work (or didn’t have to bc they got married young) to be okay with their own company, so it literally feels like romantic relationships are the biggest source of happiness or the biggest “next step.” I honestly think it’s generational too! A lot of older people got married young and can’t imagine life as a single, working person who feels fulfilled in 2024. I think younger people are redefining love and what that can look like! For example, female friendship can be such a transformative type of relationship and it should be celebrated. Wow, stepping off my soapbox now! 😅 all this to say, really enjoyed your video! Great points as always!
I love this soapbox!! And agree with all of it 😊 I do feel like alot of people don't experience what it's like to live/be alone and the journey it takes to be ok with your own company. But once you've done it...it's something to be so proud of that will end up benefitting you so much in the long run.
relationships arent reliable enough for me, too many parameters too uncertain. i can have relationships but i dont want marriage or kids, too risky, relationships are more likely to fail than to work long term. growing apart, one partner becomes unhappy,.....no way.

54 single and never been married.
Do you feel there is much of a difference as a female vs male in this situation?
the only difference I can think of is women have a bit more pressure with their biological clock (if they want a family). what do you think?
@@chanellegarcia Yeah, I would agree with that. I think men have more pressure to prove that they can provide though.
