Let's stop the stigma around being single. Those who aren't in a relationship are not "weak," "missing out," "lonely," etc. We're doing just fine on our own, honey. There may be many plus sides of being in a relationship such as having a cuddle buddy, someone who, without a doubt, will always buy you food, or sharing your love for in each other in endless, cute ways. Buuuuttt... let's not forget these reasons why being single can be so amazing!
1. You save moneyÂ
Less shopping for you on Valentine's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc. SAVE THAT MONEY, HONEY!
2. You can flirt with whoever you want...
...for the most part, at least. Definitely not if they already have a significant other. But now, you don't have to feel guilty for having googly eyes for someone else!
3. You can completely unplug wheneverÂ
You don't have to worry about constantly keeping tabs on someone. No more answering to someone's every call. You can go completely tech-free whenever!
4. You have more time...
...to find yourself, love yourself, and put yourself first. Also, just more time to watch Netflix and hang with family and friends.
6. Everything you do is for yourselfÂ
Decision making can be hard as it is, so making decisions that benefit you AND another person can be draining. Now, you don't have to worry about making someone else happy.
7. "Listen. You're going to fall in love so many times before you find the one you'll be with forever. So think of it this way — you're one heartbreak closer to happily ever after."
And if that show doesn't influence you that being single is okay...I don't know what will.
