There can be a lot of shame around single - but there doesn't need to be!

Now is the time to see the gift that is this single season to become the person you want to be, for yourself, for the world, and God willing, for your future family.

"you don't win or lose, you win or learn" - very nicely put. Thanks for that perspective :) Much love to you 🤍

[@delphinediscusses]

Exactly that! It's all in our perception and perspective. Thank you for your encouragement! Have a wonderful weekend ❤

There is always hope, especially if you have faith in the future. “The greater and more persistent your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive all that you ask.” Saint Albert the Great “Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayers.” Saint Padre Pio

I love that Padre Pio quote! I think on it a lot (especially as a self-confessed worrier!)

That's courage.

Hi Delphine, while I am younger than you. I am also at a point in my time where I’m about to be 25 and a lot of my friends are in relationships or getting proposals or a lot of my coworkers who are my age are getting married and it does affect me. I have not been in a serious relationship. I’ve been in short-term situations and yeah, I will say that for me it does affect the way that I see myself and it does affect the way that I think how the people see me but I really like your perspective in this video. I think I used to go about dating in a desperate way and I too would stay in situations that didn’t really serve me and I still am learning what it is to be in a relationship. I’m still learning the things that I want and it will take time, but I know that my man that is meant for me will be for me when he is ready and when I am ready. There is no rush in that. I am spiritual but not religious but will leave it up to the universe/my god. Much love to you beautiful woman

I am so encouraged to hear that you're already able to be so reflective and relaxed in your approach! Absolutely, we can only compare ourselves to us as we were yesterday - there's no point in comparing to others as we all have different trajectories and timelines. I'm so glad this video spoke to you!

Hey, you are really smart and mature for your age. It`s nice to see :)

[@delphinediscusses]

Thank you for the compliment and encouragement!

[@stevehopkins1645]

@@delphinediscusses Sorry, but I don`t know your age, but you look young. I just followed you on instagram :) have a good day

hate to burst everyone's bubble but you're never gonna be double. while you're here you're always going to be separate from god and from other people so enjoy the time you have with them as you aren't guaranteed anything further.
