Being single never comes with challenges. It’s jam-packed with positives and plenty to do. If you can’t think of a single thing that’s good about it, then quit moping and read this article. I guarantee that I can help you find something good about your current state of lone wolfing. Please note being a wolf should be considered a cool thing. But, I’m aware not everyone want’s to be compared to a wild dog. Get off it, I think it’s cool, nonetheless. Let’s get into it.
1. You’re free to think alone
Have you ever just sat down and pondered on random thoughts and ideas and thought “Hey, it would be great to share this low IQ brain-fart with someone else”? I didn’t think so either. (Well maybe you have, who knows?) But my very serious, very valid point here is, that most of us don’t want others thinking we’re dumber than a block of ice. Being single means you literally have no one to judge you during these unfortunate spells of ingenuity. That’s arguably problematic for your personal standards but that just depends on who you are, how far you’re willing to drop your IQ, and how many times you think up random nonsense.
2. Your Wallet Is Fatter Than That Block of Ice
Well, I should hope your wallet is fatter than a block of ice despite being single or not! However, you should be able to save plenty of bucks with your newfound love: singledom. Let’s be honest whether you’re a male or female dates are darn right expensive. Being single means spending less on dates and more on your own goals and investment plans, and if you’re not aspiring to do much, you at least have a couple more dollars to spend on your own self-interests.
3. You Learn The True and Only Meaning of Love
All those coupled up pairs reckon love exclusively exists in romantic, fluffed up partnerships of some kind. Well, you and I know that love is not exclusive to this. Love is much more than this. It’s passionate hobbies, caring for your pets, devouring your favorite meal, it’s long peaceful naps, and any act of kindness no matter how big or small. You see the five love languages aren’t limited to gifts, physics, quality time, words of affirmation, and acts of service. My list is living proof of that.
4. You’ve Already Reached The Finish Line
Please excuse how dodgy that sounds. Anyways, back to serious fun reasons, many people find relationships to help them complete themselves. Codependency is BAD, so I’ve heard and so they say. Who knows about the validity of this. But, what I do know is that being single means you get to figure yourself out. After falling down a sewerage pipe and realizing you took the wrong hole to “Poopland” instead of “Wonderland” with the only new friend you could make being Wiggle the Worm, you learn quite a bit about yourself. The main thing you learn is that you complete yourself. Considering Wiggle couldn’t help you get out of the sewerage pit.
5. You Never Have to Compromise
…with anything! Well, that all depends on whether you’re indecisive or not. I’m fairly indecisive. I’ll have to compromise with myself for the most part, but with most normal people, being single means you get the final say. ALWAYS! How cool is that? And even for indecisive people like myself, being single means we get to choose no matter what!
. . .
So there you have it. Five unforgettably important reasons why being single is fun and that being tied down in a relationship is not the only way to enjoy life. Please feel free to let me know why you love being single in the comments down below and don’t worry your reasons don’t need to be as serious as mine.
