The Best Quotes About Being Single

I've spent most of my life single. Sure, I've gone on dates. I've had a few short term relationships. I've had a lot of flirtationships. But, at the end of the day, I'm never seeing anyone, but I'm always talking to someone. So, here are the best quotes I could find about being single.

"Single is not a status. It is a word that best describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others."

"I'm not single. I'm not taken. I'm simply on reserve for the one who deserves my heart."

"If you are not happy being single, you will never be happy in a relationship. Get your own life first, then share it."

"A broken relationship would make you feel more lonely than when you were single."

"Being single doesn't mean that you know nothing about love. Sometimes being solo is wiser than being in a false relationship."

"The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely." -Charlotte Bronte

"A busy, vibrant, goal-oriented woman is so much more attractive than a woman who waits around for a man to validate her existence." -Mandy Hale

"Hope for love, pray for love, wish for love, dream for love... but don't put your life on hold waiting or love." -Mandy Hale

"I put the sing in single-- especially when I'm in the shower." -Jarod Kintz

"Single is no longer a lack of options -- but a choice. A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day 'Happily' and let your 'Ever After' work itself out." - Mandy Hale

"Being brave enough to be alone frees you up to invite people into your life because you want them and not because you need them." -Mandy Hale

"'Single' is an opportunity to live your life on your own terms and not apologize." -Mandy Hale

"It is better to lock up your heart with a merciless padlock, than to fall in love with someone who doesn't know what they mean to you." -Michael Bassey Johnson

"There are some places in life where you can only go alone. Embrace the beauty of your solo journey." -Mandy Hale

"You don't have to be part of a couple to be happy, you know." -Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

"'Happily Single' is recognizing that you don't need or want to be rescued from your life by a handsome prince because your life is pretty awesome, as is." -Mandy Hale

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
