Are you tired of people expecting you to date the first person you meet? Do you not want to constantly text the same person twenty-four hours a day? I am with you! This is for the people that enjoy their own company. For the people that get tired of others after being around them multiple days in a row. This is for the people that are single and DO NOT want to mingle. Well, sit back and listen to the 5 main reasons being single rocks as told by the characters of ‘The Office’.
1. Being single means that you are on your own schedule.
Plans? Forget it! You can come and go as you please without worrying about scheduling time in with another person. Play things by ear! It is so much easier to not have to worry about fitting in time with someone when you already have so much on your plate.
2. You do not have to deal with fighting.
Let’s face it: not every relationship is super easy (and if you are reading this and saying that your relationship is perfect, stop lying to yourself Sally). Everything always has its ups and downs and with that, comes stress and anxiety. By being single, you have one less problem in your life to worry about.
3. You are more able to meet new people and expand your social circle
4. No dealing with the stress, emotional toll, and responsibilities that come with dating.
Sometimes dating can be a full-time job and some of us do not have the time or energy to keep up with them. Between the dates, constant communication, and watching what you say so you do not start a fight are all many things to juggle while you are juggling your own life responsibilities. Life already places a lot of weight on our shoulders, so just imagine someone demanding so much of you on top of everything else.
5. Become your own source of happiness!
If you are done reading this and fighting me on everything you have read, I will leave you with this one, last thought. When you are single, you learn to put yourself and your happiness first. With having your own schedule comes more alone time to sit on your couch and enjoy ‘The Office’ alone without interruptions. When you are single, you have no one else to fight with besides yourself, which extremely lessens your chances of facing arguments. Date yourself! Find out what makes you happy and look for those qualities in people! Learn to become more picky and you will probably makes friends along the way.
So go out and enjoy being single! You rock! You only need you! Listen to ‘Single Ladies’ by Beyonce and then you will feel that self love.
