Sometimes a girl needs a kick in the pants by her best friend.

I was on the phone with my bestie,

who happens to live 601 miles away from me

(driving distance, according to google maps) 

and as I'm verbal vomiting about my life, my feelings,

uncontrollable situations, and circumstances,

She gave me a solid,

passionate,
candid,

piece of advice.

You are a young single woman who gives and loves endlessly.

You are independent with a lot to offer

and if someone doesn't choose to be the person that you deserve

you can take your love elsewhere

because there are plenty of people in the world

who would be honored to step-up to the plate

 and be that person for you.

It is your choice to share your life with someone, not your obligation.

Don't sell yourself short.
