Being single, to some, is treated as being such a negative thing. I used to be one of those people. I'd feel sorry for myself because I wasn't dating someone, but lately, I've realized being single isn't such a bad thing.

I mean I don't intend to be single forever. I want to find my person one day, but I'm also not going to settle for something less than I deserve. Why I wait for that special person to come along though? I'm going to enjoy my life being without a significant other.

Living the single life has opened up my world and eyes to a lot of things. I've started getting into things that I had put off when I was in a relationship. Meditation and yoga have come back into my life and I'm loving it.

I've been able to spend way more time with my friends than I did before. I feel like not being in a relationship has made my friendships even stronger. I'm creating great memories with these people who I know will be in my life far into the future.

I've dedicated more time to my clubs and classes. I took on an opportunity to direct a play, which I probably never would have done if I hadn't just become single when I agreed to it. It's a new experience that I've learned to love and enjoy.

I feel like I've had the opportunity to be more selfish now, in a good way. I don't have a significant other to think about when I'm deciding on something or making plans. It seems weird but I'm now doing things just for myself and my own future.

I think the main reason why I'm completely fine being single is because I've learned to love myself through it. I've seen myself in a new light, and I'm loving it. My life is centered around me right now, and what I need, and for now I like it just like that. So, cheers to the single life!
