Yup, I'm STILL Single, And I'm OK With It

My single heart only breaks about it when I watch "The Notebook."

Yup, I'm STILL Single, And I'm OK With It

In This Article:

Honestly,

I'm not going to pretend like I sometimes don't want to take cute Instagram worthy pictures with someone, or have someone be my date for events because I do. There are times where I wish I wasn't single. Where I would do anything to just have someone be madly in love with me.

However, I've gotten to the point where I also embrace being single.

The freedom that I have is insane, if I want to flirt with someone, I can. If I want to dance with someone at a party, I can. I can be on Tinder, Bumble, etc. I can go on dates, test the waters, I don't have to be committed and tied down, and I can just keep living my life doing what I want and not having to think about another person.

I don't ever have to spend money on an extra person at dinner or worry about what to get my significant other for an anniversary. There's no pressure on me to have to remember an anniversary date and no pressure on having to have "the talk."

The talk where you confess your feelings and find out that the other person doesn't want to become exclusive and they just want to keep things casual and then yo — anyway, it's a good thing I'm not in a relationship because I don't ever have to wonder where I stand in the relationship.

I like being single because I'm doing it for me. Eventually, I want to be in a serious relationship, I have a longterm goal of marriage, but for now, I'm just living. I am stress-free and doing this for me. I could be in a relationship, but honestly, if you're single, maybe you're just not ready for one yet.

I used to think I was single because "no one liked me," but then I opened my eyes and looked at the opportunities I rejected just because I wasn't ready to give up the single life yet.

So no, the single life didn't choose me, I chose it, and if I'm being honest? I kind of like it.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
