Looking for love can be like searching for a needle in a haystack, you keep seeing shiny objects that look like a needle, but it isn’t it.
There are many people you will meet on your way as you search for the right person but keep moving if they don’t feel right. You are not meant to settle.
You should not hold your breath while you have not found the one, here are five things you should do instead;
Get a business or passion project
Are you satisfied with how much you earn? Do you want to contribute to society? Then, instead of thinking of love from morning till night, start doing something you are passionate about.
The love of your life will meet you on the way. Your passion will consume you and give you fulfilment.
Travel the world or have new experiences
Travelling can open you to opportunities and experiences. Actress, Sharon Ooja had a very interesting caption on an Instagram picture of herself in Paris she said, “I always wanted to go to Paris with the love of my life, so I went with myself.” You can experience all you want to, you don’t have to wait.
Build relationships
Pour yourself into your community, your friends, your family and your colleagues. Be kind and loving to these people. You don’t have to look for romantic relationships to experience love and community.
Get a pet or plant
An animal to take care of really helps you if you feel lonely. Even nurturing a plant can be quite fulfilling. Pets are a great companion and outlet for love.
Work on yourself
Dating can truly build character. Failed relationships and situationship are not a waste of time. You can figure out what works and what doesn’t and get better from there.
Or maybe you want to be single or celibate, that is awesome. Maybe you need to heal and forgive people who hurt you. Enjoy your time of healing without the need to rush into another relationship.
