Being Single

Many of us are given the thought that it’s okay to be in a relationship, it’s un-cool to be single and in fact you are missing-out if you are not hooked up. But is it really so? Well being in a relationship is a great. After all I’ve been a relationship before and I enjoyed it.

Being in a relationship is wonderful but there are times when we will be alone. Our partners might leave us or we might not have met that special one yet. And of course relationships often don’t always last a life time, it could go off when you least expect. And then you become single again.

Yes being single might seem boring and less interesting, but it has loads of advantages. Now, the reason why single people often become sad and lonely is that they usually only look at their disadvantages.

A single life is not a life of doom, sadness, despair or loneliness. Rather, it is important to appreciate the many advantages of being single.

Without a doubt, freedom is the most important merit of being single. You can go anywhere or decide on anything without being answerable to anyone. Being single allows you to be master of your life, rather than trying to be what you are not.
Guys don't have to worry about missing a Champions League match to watch Nolly-wood movie of the week with their partners, and vice versa for ladies. For some guys, being single helps them learn how to cook, clean and do laundry and more.

Being single help most people control their finance. Relationship besides time requires money, and a lot of it. Lol. When single, you are in full control of your expenses. You save a lot of money instead of spending it on costly dinners at the mall or on overpriced tube jean.

Also there are no worries about Valentine Day gifts, Christmas gifts, and birthday presents. Guys can save towards a future project. Ladies can also save to buy a piece of gold jewelry or a new dress. Being single allows one to save money, whereas being in a relationship could make one use up their life savings.

Another important point to note is control over time. We live in a busy world where almost nobody seem to get enough time, yet still we are compelled to make time for our partners by any means necessary. Mean while, if you are single, you have time for yourself, friends, family, sport, build a career and more.

It is very important to note that not all relationships are positive ones. There are negative one as well. And this could cause one a lot of problems.
When single, you do not face the amount of stress that you would have in a negative relationship.
You don't have to tolerate annoying habits of others like nagging, etc.
You get to know who you really are when you are single. It can give you a better awareness about yourself.

This post is not to discourage relationships; rather it is to let singles out there know that there is no need to be worry or sad, because single people also do enjoy life. We should just look at the positive side of things.
So the next time you find yourself alone (single), don't panic; instead cheer up. Nothing is lost if you don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. In fact there is so much to gain being single!

Now smile and always remember that God is busy writing you the best love story ever. Peace.
