Single....And Lovin It!

Nowadays all I hear around me are the words love, relationship, commitment, marriage etc. I wonder if this is a new epidemic. Or maybe the Valentines day flu is coming around again. It seems as if all people want to do is find somenone and fall in love. There. Biggest goal in life achieved. No other aim in life, no thinking outside the box. Since the community says fall in love, marry and have kids (or a vampire kid as in the case of Twilight), that has become our only aim in life.

Nowadays being single is seen as much more worst than getting cancer! Single people crib and cry about how unhappy they are being single and as a result, the whole world thinks of them as sad and pathetic. This is something I really dont undersand. Why is being single seen as a curse? Why are people just getting into relations for the sake of avoiding being single? Why is it that people choose to marry people that they dont love just because the world says "You cant be single for the rest of your life!!" To all such people, I say "Get a grip!!!"

Being single is not a curse. Infact it can be seen as a blessing. You should have the right attitude and think about the pros of something before drowning in all the cons. I am gonna point out a few advantages (there are many but I dont want this post to drag on and on) of being single so that all of you who consider being single as a death sentence realize that is is not necessarily a bad thing. Now, this is not a post againt relations or love or marriage. I am not against any of that. If you find the right person and all, then go for it. Its just a post to help you look at being single in a positive light. So people, prepare to be dazzled with the advantages of being single.....

1. Being single means you live your life on your own terms. You do what you want and when you want. There is no one to constantly try and mould you into their idea of what you should be.

2. Your likes and dislikes are good enough. No one keeps pestering you about your choices. There is no one to criticize you for every decision you make. You wont hear "Really? You like this shirt? Seriously???" or "This series sucks! Why do you even watch it?!" or "What's wrong with your choice??"

3. No emotional stress. We all, who have been in a relation, know that although there is a plus side of having someone to love, there is also alot of emotional drama and mental stress. Being single saves you from all that, people! You wont go on and on in your head about something that your lover said or didnt say or what he would say if you do something he/she disapproves of. No fights, no quarrels, no hopes being burst, no disappointments. Now wouldnt you want that instead of running away from it?

4. No stress of infidelity. We have seen many relations which break either because the partner was unfaithful or because one person couldnt trust the other. Being single gives you a break from all that. You dont need to keep an eye on your lover all the time to make sure they arent getting attracted to anyone else. Mental peace. Aah, bliss.

5. In a relation, people start depending on each other emotionally. Any issues, you start leaning on your lover for support. But what happens when they leave? Your are left crushed, without any support and you fall into an abyss of depression. Isnt it better to be single, depend only on yourself in every way and avoid all this pain?

6. For those who have been in a live-in relationship or married, being single could infact be the best thing ever! You design your house how you want it. You watch what you want. You roam around in your house in what you want to wear. No one hogs your covers in the night. And the most important of all, your closet is full of you stuff only!

7. For all those horny people out there, being single means you can have sex whenever you want with whoever you want. You dont have to see if your lover is in the "mood". Wanna have sex? Go hit a club and hookup. If thats not your scene, enjoy alone time with your trusty hand ;)

I will stop now because this post has already become too long. There will be people who will try to negate my points by telling me that there are plus sides to being in a relation. I dont deny that. This is just a different way to look at being single. So that we can get rid of the "pathetic" tag that is used for single people. I was planning to post this topic on Valentines day so it could help people to look at the positive side of being single. But frankly it just keeps buzzing in my head and I cant wait for another month and 5 days! So to all the single people out there, be happy. Your are single, self sufficient, independent, sexy and fucking fabulous! :)
