Published on November 14, 2019, a heart-wrenching post by Just Brenda on Nation.co.ke captured the frustrations of many in the dating world.

With a mix of desperation and humor, Just Brenda shared their struggles with dating, from joining apps and connecting with friends of friends to trying to connect with people on their own, only to be met with ghosting.

When asked for advice, a friend quipped, 'If you were any more out there at this point, you would be a billboard.'

While some might suggest being more willing or putting oneself out there, Just Brenda's friend offered a more realistic perspective: 'Maybe it just isn’t your time right now, particularly if you’ve already tried.'

Perhaps, as Just Brenda's friend suggested, it's time to take a step back and enjoy life on one's own. After all, 'Partnership isn’t always for everyone.' Maybe when you take that solo trip by yourself, love will find you instead of you looking for it.

And that’s okay too.
