Why I'm Taking a Break from Dating... | Learning to be Myself by Myself

I have been trying my best to put on my big girl britches and face some of the scary skeletons in my closet. This is one of the most daunting ones.... The fear of being alone... The lie that says you are unwanted...This video is about my struggle with that exact thing. If you have felt that way you are not alone.

I am 48 and still don't have my "dream" life. what I decided to do instead is work on just loving me more and let go of what I thought my life would be . I just want peace and happiness for myself..even if it's just with me.

It’s incredibly challenging to embrace singleness in a society that places so much pressure on dating and marriage. I grew up envisioning my future spouse/life as well and because of that I have gone through most of my 20’s (I’m 28) trying to relearn where I place my value and shifting my focus. Focusing on God and truly embracing what he has for my life and not trying to force things not meant for me, has been crucial in recognizing how much importance I was placing on things and people that shouldn’t have influence on my life. Loved this video; thank you for being so genuine. Sending you support and encouragement!!

You're a beautiful woman! 27 is young. I'm 32 and I have changed very much in those years. 27 entering is your Saturn return years. You will go through a lot of change and transformation. Just trust the process. Get to know your own soul.

I'm 32 and I'm single and I'm not dating, not having sex, not talking to any men. I'm being patient with myself.

It's good to de-center men and relationships from our lives at times.

Dance to the beat of your own drum!! ❤

I knew two women who never married or had children. They took care of older parents or ill family members. That was their calling in life. I was in a abusive marriage and use to envy them. They were always happy and still lived life. Now I'm single and want to stay this way forever.

I just watched this and it really helped me. I think I’m going to take a break from dating as well and not have it be the focus of my life, as you say if it happens it happens but I am going to try not forcing things for a while and see how things change. I feel sad because I really really want to find someone but I don’t think I’m making progress towards that goal but hyper focusing so much on it.

You speak a lot of truths that many of us women think in our minds but can't put in words. Surrounding myself with people/ladies I admire helps me also. Sending you love and good vibes....enjoying your content!

A great book to read about this is, The Unexpected Joy of Being Single.

You have such a beautiful soul..id love to hear your opinions on faith, spirituality. Your view on losing friends. Your views on fear of making a channel out of perception and judgement. Your opinion on letting go of guilt and shame, and moving on

I just ran across this because I’ve been struggling with some of the same thoughts, and your video is so soothing and beautiful like your spirit…. My journey is a little different as I have been married and have children and now find myself divorced in my 40s wondering when I will have a healthy forever love…. I’ve been doing the online thing and gone on countless dates in the last few years and just feel like I need to take a break …Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your heart. You are touching more people than you know.

Don't worry, , you will be just fine.Praying all God's blessings for you.Enjoy this time, you are still so young.So many people marry before they know themselves, then divorce.My children didn't get married til they were around 30.God knows your heart and has a plan.

Hi my dear friend! In the evening I fell asleep listening to Polish Music 🎵🎹. In the morning I woke up to a Russian lullaby 🍎🐺. Then I watched your movie Camilla with flowers and a waterfall 🌾 (and I'm still in bed 🛌I was watching your YouTube channel) I watched it in the morning and listened to the enthusiastic monologue of a beautiful Canadian 🇨🇦 girl (that's you😉💖🎀 🎣🎏🛶) without how can I understand what he says😔💡 . (I understood two words: "Beatiful" and "Wonderful") It's not much, but I feel you're talking about beautiful things and human things, feelings, and your feelings. .. It's not much, but it's enough to show the writer 🧭🌾🐞 to start a nice day. I read a comment... Good comment! I saw a small red strawberry🤏🍓🤲, a small ladybug with red dots 🐞. A field of grass🌾, white Camomile flowers🤍🌻, beautiful horses on grassy pastures 🐎 .... A stream with cold clear water, stones 🧊🪨💧... A beautiful ring, a beautiful ankle chain that embellishes your beautiful legs✨️🦶. Meanwhile, I think about what the girl is thinking, what she wants to say 💖🧠. (I didn't understand anything, but you started a feeling, a thought in me) You started a thought in me and today I came up with a Game 🤩🤸🦋🪁for my little brother's little girl 🐴🌾🐞) If you tell me what you are talking about in this movie!? Then the at the end of my day, I will come back to you with a poem and a beautiful piece of music 🫴📚🎹🎻. The poem was brought to my mind by the stream and the stones, the music by the horses and the pasture. I'm saying goodbye to you now! I wish you and everyone on your channel a nice day! From the other side of the stream 🌍🕊🌍🙂🖐 Paul

I love your content which is real and raw. I just stumbled upon your video with a great healing atmosphere. I have 7 years of experience in relationships that have combined trauma and complex things, and now I am on hiatus. I am now single for 9 months already. I tried online dating, but I am just being disappointed all the time. I deleted all the apps and focused on my growth as a human being. I am now studying and working because I had sacrificed my personal dreams for my relationships to work, which inevitably failed. I finally accept that maybe relationships are not for me and dating is draining too. I am on my journey of healing. I am currently studying psychology and worked in IT. Sending my big hugs to you .. ❣
