I read this article and it just solidifies for me the “better to be single than miserable” mindset we value. It came at a perfect time for me. I started to get a tiny bit of doubt about my dating life (or lack thereof) since my best friend told me my “puppy shouldn’t be a substitute for having a boy in my bed” when I told her I caved and he sleeps with me. What’s so wrong about having a dog replace a man? He’ll never hurt me (unless he steals my food haha), cheat on me, he’ll always come back no matter what, and he’ll always love me! Plus, he’s freaking adorable haha

So keep on being yourselves and sticking to your guns ladies!
