I 21M have been in 2 long term serious relationships in my life. Both ending with a lot of heartache and strife and stress and took years off of my life I’m sure. But I now realize that I just need to be single and have fun for a while. Live, experience life, explore, try new things. But my friends all treat me like an ostrich for wanting to go out and have fun and meet people and really experience life. And after a while you can’t ignore it anymore. When your friends tell you over and over that you shouldn’t be trying to sleep around or you shouldn’t party that much. ( for context I go out twice a week, I feel like that’s not that bad ) but I’ve really started to feel guilty almost for wanting to have a life and go out and do fun things. They all just think you get a relationship and that’s what you do till you’re married, which is great and all. But I’d like to have some fun first.
