Why being single is absolutely awesome

Some people frown at the thought, but honestly, being single is a lot better than you think

I’ve been single for about 3 years now. This is due to various reasons, such as poor timing and people being confused about their feelings towards me. But it’s all good. Being single rules.

Why? Oh, I’d be pleased to share all the reasons why I am happily single!

For starters, I get to choose what I do with my time. Do I want to just stay in? Not see the light of day? Got it. Oh, you wanted me to go to that event with you that I actually don’t care about at all? Don’t need to do that. I get to stay in as I please, and go out as I please. It’s fun to be able to use my time freely.

With that time, I learn more about myself. I am alone most days. I go to class, make food, take walks, dance around… all those things with myself. I learn more about what I like, don’t like, and what I want my life to be like and what I don’t want it to be like.

Reflection is extremely healthy and I believe is a necessity in becoming the best person you can be.

I also get to hang out with my friends as much as I want. I would argue that in some relationships, the time you spend with your friends gets shortened, and trust me, they notice.

They’ll say things like “you’re always with your boyfriend” or “I never see you anymore” and it is probably at least partially true.

At parties, I have the freedom to talk who I want, when I want and in whatever way I want. This makes parties and social events so much fun, especially when I am in the mood to socialize.

I also won’t have to deal with fights probably due to miscommunication. This seems to be pretty common in most relationships, and it freakin’ sucks.

I think being able to be single at some point of time reinforces your ability to be independent.

It’s also better to be single than be with the wrong person, am I right?
