Being Queer and Happily Single
Finding Joy in Being Single: A Journey to Self-Love and Happiness 🌈💫
Hey wonderful beings! 🌟
Sometimes it can feel like we’re constantly being pressured to find that special someone.
The pressure of singlehood can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
But the truth is, you can be happy no matter if you’re dating, in love, or single.
Here’s a short guide on we can find joy and self-love when we’re single.
🌷 Living in the Present: Whether you’re into monogamy, polyamory, or any form of connection, you can cultivate joy and practice gratitude while being single. Good coffee tastes good no matter if you’re single or partnered. You can still spend time with your friends, read your favourite books, or enjoy your special self-care rituals.
🍀 Self-Awareness and Self-Compassion: Often, it’s not the act of being single that is upsetting us, but the narratives we have woven around being single. Start observing your inner dialogue about being single. What stories do you tell yourself about your singlehood? Is it gentle? Or laden with shame and regret?
💜 Speak to Yourself Kindly: Heighten your self-awareness and be kind to yourself. For example, instead of telling yourself, “I’m single because no one wants me,” you can reframe: “I’m currently single and this allows me to focus on myself and learn about what I truly want.” Remember that you have so many positive qualities; you’re funny, you have passions, and you’re worthy of love.
🔍 Being Complete in Solitude: Societal norms often paint singlehood as a phase of incompleteness, but embracing solitude or casual connections is equally valid. We are complete by ourselves, even though others can complement us, too. So many people find joy with just being in their own presence. Our existence is multifaceted, and not just confined to romantic bonds.
🌈 Exploring Therapy: Growing up queer might have isolated many of us, hindering our emotional exploration. But now, we have the resilience and capabilities to learn from our past and embrace therapy to unravel our emotional narratives and foster self-love.
If singlehood feels overwhelming, and you desire to traverse this journey with support... We at Voda are here with you.
Voda offers a variety of free features like queer-led meditations, daily mood check-ins, and a series of free self-guided therapy programmes on topics such as coming out, love, and gender dysphoria.

Stay radiant,

It's official...i give up
And the title States it’s official I’m giving up.
I’m giving up trying to have a relationship again. Well over a month now I’ve tried to wrap my head around not being valued anymore by the man I gave my heart too.
Since the end of January… I am no longer a priority in my boyfriend’s life. Perhaps 5 months is all I get in this life to be happy In love.
You see he got an unexpected house guest.…

Found In My Journal:
"Women are not people; no one knows what to do with you when they cannot categorize you by whom you are in service to."
