If you’re single in this day and age, you’re often looked down up on. As if being single is a crime. It’s not. The pressure to find someone to hang out with, just because the whole world and his wife are doing it is not why you choose a partner. Let me give you five reasons on why I am single and living it up. Read on:
I love my freedom:
However considerate and helpful your partner may be, it can never make up for your freedom. You can do and wear as you please, hang out with whoever and wherever you want, eat messy foods and watch crappy rom-coms. You can even have a pet without pissing him/her off. And those yummy cookies you have been lusting after? Yes, you can indulge in them, guilt-free!
I am picky:
Right from places to eat to outfits to wear, I am a picky, bordering on fussy. I don’t want to compromise on things that I love and enjoy, just because my SO (significant other, duh) doesn’t favour them. For those who are independent, being not given what they want is never an option. Perhaps that’s why most women in high positions are considered ‘difficult’ and ‘headstrong’. It’s not I don’t like to compromise, it’s just that I love doing things my way more.
Ego hassles:
I am not the kind that would put with the other person’s attitude or nurture his/her ego. Being single means that you don’t have to constantly fight with someone in order to massage his/her ego. There are no tantrums, mood-swings and rolling of the eyes. You can bloody hell spend all of your money on yourself and not feel guilty about it at all.
Sexual favours:
I am not very comfortable being sexually active with someone, may be because I am scared, may be because I am insecure. Whatever it is, being in a relationship means that you to indulge in some sexual favours. Voluntarily. If you’re attracted to somebody, you would automatically be inclined to kiss/hug them or even a go step further.
Emotional baggage:
I am come with excess emotional baggage. Because I have seen and heard too many affairs go kaput that I am traumatized by the mere thought of being with someone. Despite there being plenty of good men and women, that one bad person can screw us over for life. Why should I carry that baggage into someone’s life and ruin their happiness too?
Okay, so don’t let these thoughts come in the way of finding love and happiness. If you know in your heart that somebody is good for you, you should take one chance with him/her. It might just be worth it.
