There of course is no one way to be single. However, I think the movie "How to Be Single" conveys a positive message everyone can benefit from. It’s definitely worth going out to see and it’s still in theaters now. This hilarious movie came out Valentine's Day weekend, but it's about more than just romantic relationships or even relationships with family and friends. I think what we need to learn is how to actually enjoy an honest moment alone. Enjoy the time you have alone just as much as the time you have with others.
We are so obsessed with these #relationshipgoals or finding the one when we haven’t truly found ourselves. Dakota Johnson’s character. Alice, a recent college graduate, broke up with her steady boyfriend because she was constantly in a relationship and she wanted to experience what it would be like to be single. She soon figures out she’s in over her head. Thankfully she has the help of her co-worker Robin, played by none other than hilarious. yet harsh, Rebel Wilson. Through Robin’s tough love and raunchy humor Alice figures out who she actually is, and realizes that she needs to stop changing herself for a boyfriend. Take the time you have by yourself to do something you’ve always wanted. Don’t hesitate to go on an adventure by yourself. You might even have more fun.
Alice’s sister, Meg, is played by the zany and adorable Leslie Mann. Meg is convinced she doesn’t want a baby and that she’s happy living her life independently. So much to the point that when she finds herself pregnant, she pushes away the guy who wants to be a part of her life and help raise her baby.
Be honest with yourself about what is really important, and what you want out of life. Because you might figure out that you already have everything you need. Learning to appreciate what you have, and more importantly learning how to appreciate the people around you will also make you a better partner.
This movie is not only for single people those of us in relationships can benefit too. The highlights of the movie can be applied to everyone. When you are confident in who you are, it shows and people are attracted to that.
Most importantly, you have to realize that your life does not depend on your significant other, but of course it doesn't hurt having them around. But seriously, this principle goes for any relationship whether it is with you parents, siblings, or friends. You have the capability to function with or without them.
You are stronger than you think and sometimes it take being single to realize just how awesome you really are.
