Being single isn’t a waiting room. It’s a full season with its own assignments.

A season only becomes a waiting room if you decide the real thing starts later. Being single is a full set of circumstances with its own work in it, friendships that need time, things to build, people to look after. Treating it as an interval means the years pass while you are watching the door.

Put your attention into what is actually in front of you this term. Get good at something, be a better friend, serve somewhere. If a relationship comes, it will meet a person with a life rather than a person on hold.
