7 EMPOWERING CELEBRITY QUOTES ON BEING SINGLE

‘I’m not alone! I’m with myself. And myself is fabulous.’

Judging by our social media feeds, it’s easy to assume that everyone is pairing off, getting married and starting families and for the single girls, it often feels like they're getting left behind – missing out on something and not living life to the full.

Don’t panic. Here are 7 empowering quotes from our favourite A-List celebrities – women who see their singledom as a blessing rather than a curse. Prepare to feel empowered…

1. Eva Longoria

‘Some people said, “Oh. You don’t want to be alone.” And I said, “I’m not alone! I’m with myself. And myself is fabulous.”’

2. Jennifer Lawrence

‘I’m not a lonely person. I never feel lonely … It’s not a sad thing to be alone. I think what I was trying to get across was that I don’t feel a lack of something not being in a relationship. I don’t feel like there is an emotional void to be filled.’

3. Emilia Clarke

‘People keep asking me who I’m dating right now and the truth is…wait for it…no one. And that’s OK. I’m figuring out a lot of stuff right now. I think as a woman it’s in our nature to nurture someone else. Sometimes at the expense of ourselves.’

4. Taylor Swift

‘I recommend to all my friends that they be alone for a while. When you’re in love, or dating someone, you filter your life decisions through their eyes. When you spend a few years being who you are, completely unbiased, you can figure out what you actually want.’

5. Rihanna

‘Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then. I’ll give it to my family, I’ll give it to my work – but I will not give it to a man right now.’

6. Penelope Cruz

‘I think it will be better when I get involved with someone again, because I made this time for me. I haven’t really been single for a while, and I think it’s been good for me, to lose the fear to be like this.’

7. Jennifer Lopez

‘I was waiting for Prince Charming. Everybody I met was going to be the guy I was going to spend my life with. And then you realize, “I’m strong, I’m my own keeper, my own savior.”’
