Just Friends (Sunny) – Musiq Soulchild
Yes, we know the single life can get a bit lonely and overwhelming, especially with societies obsession with romance and love. Although it's advertised as something we shouldn’t experience, I think it’s a necessity in life. Being single is a time for growth, rejuvenation and peace. Here are my 10 reasons why I LOVE being single
10. You save money…. well sorta
Instead of buying birthday presents Christmas presents and of course valentine’s day gifts, you can use that money towards your future and possibly a new wardrobe lol. Money isn’t everything but while in your early 20’s I think its safe to say were all trying to save for something better; being single can definitely help you save a couple of bucks in the bank
9. Routine, routine, routine
I don’t know about you but I absolutely love having a schedule. It helps me stay organized and bring much peace to my life. If I plan it out then I know I can achieve it. Sometimes it’s difficult to have a routine when in love; actually it’s always difficult when in a relationship.
8. Fostering a stronger mindset
While being single you definitely have more strength when pursuing goals. Being lonely creates a sense of independence. You’re not afraid to try new things by yourself, take risks. We get a sense of comfortability when in relationships and that tends to spew over into our other decisions in our lives.
7. Work harder in school/work
Flexibility is one of the most appreciated things I have nowadays. Being able to study when you want, relocate your job when you want and go out with your co-workers as you please. By being single I also read that majority of people find more meaning in their job.
5. Spiritual Growth
Your time is precious and one thing I know about any faith is that it requires patience and dedication. As a single person, it is often easier to dedicate your life to your faith due to the minimal sacrifices you have to take. You also rely more on your god or supreme ruler because you don’t have a partner to share your stress with and depend on.
4. Good night, sleep tight
Do you know that meme that says, “I go to sleep like a baby every night knowing someone is not heating on Me.”? Well, that is a very true statement. Love and relationships are definitely beautiful and going to sleep next to someone you love is definitely heaven sent. However, it's all nice until insecurities kick in and you love someone so much you can't see why other people won't love them too.
3. Reduced stress
I know people who stress about who their significant other is with, what they are eating, how their day is going all added on to their own personal stress. Being single helps you to focus on your own stress and figure out a solution without the pressure of finding the solution to your partner's stress as well.
2. Me time
Ohhhh do I love me time. Whether it's dinner with myself, a movie with the big popcorn and soda or my favorite shopping. Time by yourself is so crucial for a peace of mind. Something I used to be afraid of and now I prefer to be alone. Me time is the best time, you have time to think, relax, dream without any interruptions
1. Controlling your own happiness
When you are single you are in full control of your happiness. It is up to you to wake and love the skin you’re in and love your life. Sometimes the expectations we have to meet for our significant others can be overwhelming and we don’t realize our self-worth. I know I’ve been there before and I stopped loving myself because I never felt good enough; that is so damaging to your health and well-being. Now I control my happiness and mostly all days are good days.
