Over the past 12 years I have always been a partner since my first boyfriend at 15

Past simple

I haven't even had three consecutive months being single between relationships like holy fuck and two and a half years ago

Gerund

I made the mistake of publicly saying I'm going to be single for a year and then of course immediately meeting a great guy

So I learned my lamingtons lesson, and I'm not going to say that now

But I do want to really take this time and focus on myself

You know I don't know what it's like when I'm not one half of a unit, how do I act?

How do I choose to spend my time and with who, like these are the things that I'm really

curious about. How do I define myself when I'm not factoring someone else's wishes into my life. What is it like when I super saiyan?

I've been feeling weird for a little bit like I didn't realize how much extra time

I'd have on my hands to just wonder if I'm going to die alone and be eaten by my six cats for their survival until

Someone eventually discovers my body and it's an honorable death don't get me wrong

I'm stoked about that kind of death, but it is a possibility that I have to consider

I have all this extra time to rediscover my

Creativity and and study new skills and buy a death machine that I was never allowed to get in relationships

And bonds with my girlfriends and workout and take new classes and watch whatever I want on TV

while I eat whatever I want to eat that night! It's nice

Though sometimes I do forget that I'm alone and I'll say things like 'Hey, what's that word for?'

Oh my god I live alone, who the hell am I talking to?

I guess I'm talking to you, aren't I? Yes, we're the only ones here

But you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't understand words!

You don't know any of that, noooo, no you don't!

and we're not going to find you a father for a long time

Single life so far is weird because I'm in that in-between phase where I'm not like heartbroken anymore

But I'm not exactly like *weird noise* I'm single, independence! So can I be happy being single? Well

I sure fucking hope so. I know that the first thing

I need to do is stay single and ignore all the desperate voices in my head

Urging me to jump into a relationship with anybody because it's comfortable and familiar. And two become the most badass

Leveled up Super Saiyan version of myself so I can practice self-love and be really happy and three, finally chill

This is the hardest one for me because I'm such a like gotta

Do everything now! kind of person that if I'm not pursuing something or someone I feel like I'm not actually living

So I know that the lesson I need to learn to be happy as a single independent woman

Wish me luck. I'm Anna Akana, stay awesome gotham
