You never thought that time would come, one of your besties or friends will break away from the pack and get engaged. You talk about it all the time with your girls and it’s an exciting feeling as well as little gloomy, as things might never be the same again. But on to the perks of it. From the excitement of it and going for shopping for it, planning the parties, the big day, the dresses! Although there are a lot of perks, however, it does have you thinking for a while, what about you? Have you tied in knots? You would never admit but your heart is aching just a bit, you aren’t jealous but you can’t stop this feeling of crumble either.

Rest assured, your time will come as well.  At this very moment, all you should be doing is being there for your best friend. Being those sisters at heart and partners in crime. This time will pass by as well and won’t last forever, so don’t take it for granted. Here are 5 things to remember when all of your friends are getting engaged.

1. Not the end of the world

Yeah, your bestie is getting engaged and it might seem like everything is changing, probably is. She might even move away, above all, she will be very busy and won’t have all the time and attention for you. It’s okay, you are like a single child again. Don’t have to share things, ask everything, don’t have to wait to give back the shirt she borrowed you might as well have some alone time. You can watch a movie alone with full attention.

2. Your time will come as well

Don’t get impatient, everything happens for a reason. A cliché I know. Maybe it’s about you focusing on yourself for a while. Single life doesn’t have to be boring or lonely, make the best of it. You know how to. Depend on yourself for a while so you don’t have to wait around for someone else to complete.

3. You might as well be financially stable

Isn’t it better to be financially stable and worry about other aspects of the relationship when you do find someone you want to be with? It’s the time of your life, go for that dream, set a career so you are completely independent. Work on yourself first, make yourself strong so you know you don’t have to settle for anything less.

4. You get to experience at far how engaged life is

Now it can’t be possible that your bestie gets engaged and doesn’t tell you what happens after that, how her life has changed, how she misses you, and how her every day is going. Even if she gets busy, you guys will catch up even if it over a phone call, because you just can’t live apart. You get to experience that life indirectly, this way you can take notes and be equipped when it’s your turn.

5.  Explore the single life

Need I say more? I can’t stress any further on the fact about how important your single life is. How you should work on strengthening your mind and heart so you don’t get taken for granted and know that you deserve better if you get yourself into a half-ass relationship or situationship. Work on your mental health. Don’t let people affect you to the extent that your life gets disturbed. You hold the door open for people who want to leave. Don’t beg for attention and drag down a person you know isn’t for you. Let things happen naturally. So you get to know when something good hits you, you don’t push it away.
