The woman explained why people should see being single in their 20s as a blessing and not a curse.
Many established timelines might want people to achieve certain milestones by a certain age, like having a proper career, finding a partner or buying a house. People might feel pressured to follow these timelines and take a big step even if they are not ready for it, especially single people in their 20s. They feel a sense of isolation and loneliness as they are not able to get into a relationship as per set standards. Liv Rose—who goes by @livrose___ on the platform—looks at this situation differently. She considers it a blessing to be single in her 20s.
"Ladies who are single in their 20s, how blessed are we," Rose began. "That we can put ourselves at the center of all our decisions." She added, "We could book a one-way plane ticket tomorrow and no one would question it." The woman expressed, "We could live out every single desire in our hearts before our 30s." She feels that we can do all of this because there is no one at home waiting for us. "I know that it is as scary as it is exciting. But a lot of people wish that they had taken the time to appreciate that more to be at the center of their lives that little bit longer before they met the love of their lives," Rose pointed out.
"So if you are in a position where you can be the center of your own life in your own world, take it because I can tell you now, one day you are going to regret it," Rose remarked. "I was sitting in my past relationship being like, I wanna do all of these things. I wish I had done them when I was single." Now, she is single. "It's the biggest blessing. I am choosing to see it as a blessing and not a curse," the woman shared. "I am so excited for what next year will bring," the video concluded.
The woman captioned the post, "Embrace this season and be the center of your world. I am proud of you." The video received over 839k views and more than 101k likes. People took to the comments section of the clip to appreciate the thought and share their own experiences. @candigreenway wrote, "Spent 16-23 with a bf who didn't work out, now I'm spending my mid-20s learning who I am & what I deserve and doing all those dreams. I am so happy." @bronteejadee commented, "Booking the one-way ticket at 25 was the best thing I ever did! Quit my stable job and left! Lived for me, found myself and it was incredible!"
@sally860t remarked, "I needed to hear this... I'm 28, single, my friends are getting married and having kids and I feel like such a failure. So this was nice to hear." @kchabola shared, "A 7-year relationship just ended. I met him when I was 19 and he was 22. now, I’m making choices based solely on what I want for the first time since choosing which college to attend. Things are looking up." @xoleylii expressed, "Just what I needed to hear after spending the last five years making decisions/plans with someone else in mind (and getting sad when they would say no)."
