Society, all over the world, seems to urge everyone on the face of the earth that you would reach ultimate happiness, once you’ve found someone to share your life with. To have someone supporting you — building a life that we’ve always dreamed of with a companion on our side. If this was true, then it would only mean one thing…
We cannot be happy on our own.
Would you like to believe that? Or, admitted it to yourself that no matter how hard you work and try to make your dreams come true, you will never be fulfilled… Just because you don’t have someone by your side, a partner? I highly doubt that the majority of people, even the ones who encourage others that having a partner would make you happy, would even dare to answer the questions with a “YES”. Personally, this could be a wake-up call for the society to start appreciating the single people who managed to stay positive and have a meaningful and fulfilled life. Moreover, a healthy state of mind, as well as self-love. Because, frankly, single people are too often stereotyped and stigmatised as pitiful, while the ones married or in a relationship are celebrated. Reasons Why You Should Embrace the “Single Life” The outrageous claims where people say that getting married makes people happier, healthier and more integrated into society are grossly exaggerated and quite sickening, to be honest. If you’re in a relationship and you’re happy about it, then great. But it simply is unwise to associate “being in a relationship” as THE reason. People who get married do not end up any happier than they were when they were single — they do not end up any healthier or less depressed than when they were single, nor do they enjoy any higher self-esteem. As a matter of fact, people who are single yet they embrace their single status and live their lives to their best, most authentic and meaningful way possible. These are the people who need to be appraised, and not brought down just because of their single status. Quoting from the book Reflections of a Man by Mr. Amari Soul, “She’s single, not because she can’t find a man, but because she’s waiting for the right man to come along and make her feel so secure in the relationship that loving him just comes natural and easy.” Don’t ever let anyone make you feel like being single is a bad thing. Take your time, be patient, and wait for the right one. The real key to living the single life is building a relationship with yourself, tending to yourself, and loving yourself. Here are a few ways to live your best single life:- Embrace your single status. Define what single means to you and totally own it. Being single means you’re independent, and that’s awesome!
- Spend more time alone — for it is the best way to get to know yourself. The more you get to know yourself, the happier you’ll be.
- Be more spontaneous — Because one day, you might not be afforded the same flexibility.
- Travel, A lot. It’s much easier for single people to just get up and go. So why not do it? Again, later in life, you might not have the same freedom to do so.
- Move around. There are much less reasons that tie you down to one particular place, so make the best of this time to experience life in different places. It’s easier to pick up and replant roots when you only have yourself to worry about.
