Here’s How ‘The Bachelorette’ Inspired Me to Choose Myself After All the Better Options Were Gone

In the episode of The Bachelorette that aired last night, one of Katie’s suitors, Greg, told her that he was leaving the house early, and Katie was so upset that she decided to end the show altogether. Here’s how that dramatic ending inspired me to also choose myself, especially when I don’t really have any other better options to choose from.

 

Just like Katie, I am a strong, sex-positive, and independent woman. Who cares if the last four men I was talking to all ghosted me out of the blue? I really want to focus on myself, especially since that’s kind of the only thing I can do right now.

 

Everything happens for a reason, which is why the lack of men in my hookup rotation is actually a blessing! I realize now that I am my own soulmate, and I probably came to this conclusion because I don’t have anyone else distracting me from myself. Like, literally nobody! At least Katie had other people literally competing to be with her even if she wasn’t into them. Last night I tried to give the Dominoes delivery guy my number and he said, “Next time try a cash tip, pervert.” Fair enough!

 

I just want to say thank you to Katie, because without her brave decision I would still be trying to date a bunch of random hot guys too! But right now, I’m focused on taking myself on one-on-one dates, giving myself date cards, and handing myself a rose. After all, someone has to do it!
