Are you single? So what? Shaaa….who said you have to be in a relationship to live life? Single is just a word to describe someone who is strong enough to live without depending on others. Therefore stop worrying youself about a non-issue like that. Its high time we started holding your heads up high and admit you are single, you have reason to hold on to it. Here are three good ones.
In a relationship with freedom
You are not entitled to anyone and answerable to no soul (apart from your parents). You can do what you want, whenever you want. Leave it to people in relationships to watch their every step because it may reflect babdly on the mate. You are a free soul, you drink all you want, put on what you want, show up to class when you feel like, talk to whoever you want and did i mention ‘drink all you want?’ I donot want to call being in a relationship a prison but it kinda is. Being single in your twenties is your time to be selfish and try out whatever, otherwise when will you learn? Research even shows that you are least likely to face a mid-life crisis. This is an oppotunity to live life on your own terms and never apologise for it.
The money is all yours
Lets face it, 70% of you still have to call mom every weekend for your weekly wallet top ups. With that little up-keep, you have to budget for food for two, airtime for two (and she will still beep you), little spontenous gifts (if want to keep her around), emergency pizza, drinks for you, her and her pack of friends at the bar…i can write this list all day. But think about it, if you are single divide this budget by two and mulitiple by two. I am no Albert Einstein so i also donot get that equation, but just imagine mom handing you the money and it is all yours. Haaaa….you could own a car by now (#consolation).
You are on market
So rumor has it that being single means you are pushing people away. Booo who!!! Do they have any idea how much attention a single person gets. Who doesnot want to be the one to conquer that no mans land? Who doesnt want to be the first to break through that Jericho wall that has bounced many away? You are like that last delicious cookie on the shelf that everybody badly wants to reach first. That is more attention than you can get in a relationship. Every guy will want to buy you lunch, want to know what you doing over the weekend….heck they will be glad to do corse work for you. Why give this up easily, you deserve that extra effort.
I am just a writer with an opinion. Maybe i am just seeking solace for myself because i maybe single. So if you do not feel conviced to love your status, consider what Mandy Hale said that puts everything in perspective, ‘Single is no longer lack of options but a choice. A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live everyday happily and let your ever after work its self out.’
