We Outside

“ When will the streets be done with me.” ~Arnell Armon.

I make jokes about the streets and leaving, but… I’m lying. Ok wait, let’s just clear some things up before we keep going because from what I see on social media, this topic of being taken or in the streets seems so narrow. You can be single and not in the streets.That’s where I’m going wrong. Why am I not? This is what this whole blog post is about, inspiration to all my singles reading to test out the streets.

Ok, ok. I may be pushing it, just slightly. Maybe I’m more so trying to say that this blog post is to encourage every single person to do all the responsible growing and learning within their singleness ( Read singles club if you haven’t!) AND throw some fun in. The “ streets” are fun in the time frame that they are supposed to serve their purpose. Being single is fun in the right time period too.

When people say “ She/he is for the streets” I think it instantly goes to this lingering idea of whatever the person is doing, is reckless. I will be the first to tell you that this is false. The golden rule to this arena is staying safe and staying honest. Also, not just lumping everyone on the same street lol. You can be out and living single and in the “streets” without doing a lot of what people think when they hear the phrase. Freedom is a beautiful thing.

This blog is all about setting the standard and the beauty of having control over your life and body is that any phase you're in and how far you choose to go with people is up to you and your values and your experiences.

I don’t know, it seems like we are losing a lot of star players on this side and I don’t want my fellow singles to get discouraged. I wrote my Valentines day post most recently about how we have to take the time out for ourselves to get cute and use it as a reminder to remember who we are. I also wrote the single’s club to remind us that we have to be putting in the personal work. Always. This post though. This, is to say that sometimes experience is the best teacher.

I’m outside this Summer. That’s all I’m going to say.That’s not even just talking about dating, but my friends gearing up too for the brunches and just finding things to get into. ( It’s still Covid, so stay safe though). I’m single and in this period I feel like I want to stress having fun until I find someone that I want to be having fun with. The streets aren’t done with me and that’s okay.
