I really enjoyed the topic of last class, single life. This single life is something I've just began to understand. I was that girl who went from boyfriend to boyfriend since I was 15. I was a victim of homeostasis in a relationship. I had this low self esteem and constant attachment to my boyfriends because I never had the time alone to figure things out for myself. This is now the first time in my life I have truly had an elapsed period of time without a boyfriend. Although it has been incredibly hard, I have learned so much about myself. I understand the reasons for the actions I've taken and know that this period of time has been the largest amount of growth I've ever had. So, I completely agree with knowing yourself before you enter into a relationship. It's easy to get intertwined and caught up into a relationship and completely loose yourself. I know that next relationship I do have will be more real and healthy, I'll be able to give more. I'm content with where I'm at and who I am from having this time alone.
