Around The World "Being Single is Huge"

By: Kenneth Stepp

It’s true. Weird, but true. I am gaining readers, even publications in so many countries. This wouldn’t be a big deal if I was a great writer. I’m just not. So. This is a subject that needs more attention from the greats. Not me. I’m flattered when I see The Daily Mail and other mainstream media overseas run my articles. But let’s face it. Some of the real pro’s need to chime in here. Relationships and marriages are failing at record speeds. We need media coverage right away. Perhaps we could stop all the war talk and try to work on a worldwide emotional torture epidemic.

“Every writer is writing to someone. Every word belongs to them. In the writer's mind. The world only has two people when they write ” - Kenneth Stepp

Writing is always therapy for the writer. When it ceases to be therapy, writing stops. It isn’t from the heart. I’m not saying it made a difference in quality. But, when I force it. it’s terrible writing to me. I have gone months without putting pen to paper. Why? Because my emotions are where the words flow from. They may not be great words. But, they flow from my heart. Right now I have Australia, Africa, Great Britain, and Ireland. These are a few of the places republishing my work. Why? Because half the people in developed countries are faced with being single again. Is it an epidemic?

“Phenomenon: A fact or situation that is observed to exist or happens, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question”

Is being single a phenomenon? It’s pretty common. Yet, still a mystery. So, phenomenon it is. At least to me. Did any of us expect being single would be the way it is? I didn’t. And falling in love with the first girl I met proved it was a piece of cake. Of course, failing at that relationship was a reminder that I know nothing about what was to come. But, come it did. It was more subtle than I remember though. As it happened. I thought, “I lost my family, losing her will be nothing”. By the time reality set in, I was completely devastated. Of all the pain I had endured in my life. This was times ten. Nothing could have prepared me for it. For this reason. I make myself available to others in this situation.

“The most expensive thing is the world is trust. It can take years to earn and seconds to lose” - Kenneth Stepp

To someone hurting. trust is important. It may be the difference in making it passed something awful or not. Everyone that has been single any time at all, knows “Hurtzilla” is just around the corner, waiting for you to trust something or someone. The reality is, you should still trust. My pain came from one source. I would still trust it. My walls lowered, barriers down. I would because real love exists. Nothing can replace love, nothing can negate it. Love is an amazing thing. It isn’t present in but a fraction of relationships. In those, someone is special. Someone is amazing. Someone will be loved unconditionally forever. It can’t be helped. I have tried to explain this to a few potential “forever’s”. The couple that had never experienced real love in the past ran away. The one that had, understood why I had a closed heart. Love is a funny thing. It makes it’s own rules. Love is worth the journey though. I promise you that.

For me. Love is everything. I live for it, search for it, and would die for it. I will endure pain, and embarrassment. It doesn't matter. Nothing trumps real love. Evaluate if love matters to you. If it does. Take all of what bothers you and place it below it. Walk to the edge, close your eyes, walk off. The fall is half the journey.....
