There's nothing wrong with taking a break to recharge and re-center.

You aren’t half of something waiting to be made whole — you’re a complete human being with your own important thoughts and ideas, looking for someone to add to your life. You're neither incomplete nor missing out on anything just because you’re single.

From a young age, people (especially women) are constantly taught that we’re in competition with one another.
