Being single is a natural part of life. As some young girls probably don't realize, you're alone when you're born and you'll most likely be alone when you die. As cold-heartedly morbid as that sounds, it's the truth. With today's society, for high school and college ages males and females, relationships are probably more important than your GPA or what college you attend. It sounds so crazy until you realize that you're secretly hoping for a relationship, because everyone seems to be in love, except for you. It's not a bad thing, at all. Being single may even be the best thing, coming from someone who got out of a relationship that was just a bit longer than a year. There are so many feelings that come with being "the only single person on the planet."
1. You aren't in danger of being hurt.
Relationships are hardly ever easy. Who has time to suffer a broken heart?
2. You learn how to appreciate yourself.
I'm a firm believer in loving yourself before loving someone else.
3. You're definitely not alone.
Yeah, you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, but why be bitter about it?
4. You can play the field.
Slut shaming is so common nowadays, there's nothing wrong with seeing what's out there! We're young, enjoy life why you can.
5. You're saving money.
Sure it's nice getting a little something for whoever you're dating. However, when you're single you can save that money for more important things, like alcohol and food.
6. You can actually have fun.
Partying is a lot more fun when you're not tied down.
7. Being on the prowl.
You don't have to look for your future spouse, but you can still have fun.
8. There's nothing wrong with you.
Don't let those girls who have a new boyfriend every month tell you anything about yourself.
9. Having a type is perfectly fine.
It's just fine to have a type, don't feel obligated to be attracted to every guy you meet.
10. You might be happier than most.
While others complain, you're living your life.
11. You're allowed to be bitter.
It's OK to take a day or two to mope about being alone. Just remember to be optimistic.
Being single isn't all that bad, in fact, it is an essential part of life! Go find yourself, not a boyfriend/girlfriend.
