I don’t care what anyone says — single life is amazing. When I’m in a relationship, I sometimes forget how happy I am when I’m alone. Having a boyfriend is nice sometimes, but rolling solo is always great! Here are 12 reasons I might just pick the single permanently:
- I like the simplicity. Living life on my own is easier. I don’t have to navigate the ups and downs of a relationship. I can focus on my own stuff and I can do whatever I need to do to make myself happy. I don’t have to take another person into consideration when I make every single decision. It keeps my life grounded.
- I have a lot of fun on my own. I’ve never been someone who needed another person around to have a good time. I like being by myself and I’m quite comfortable with it. If I need social interaction, I have plenty of friends and hobbies. I’m certainly never bored. Men can be fun but I’m certainly fine without one.
- I like my flexible schedule. Yes, I have a lot going on, but it’s on my terms. I don’t have to feel guilty because I can’t make enough time for a guy or needy because I want him to make more time for me. I manage my days in the way that works best for me without anyone else’s schedule dictating any of it. It’s pretty bomb.
- I feel empowered by the single life. I’ve never felt as strong and capable with a man as I do when I’m alone. It forces me to live completely in charge of myself, my choices and my destiny. I love it. I’m accountable to myself and I find that I make stronger decisions that are more true to who I am. I don’t want to bend my journey to fit some guy’s whims.
- I’m very focused and productive on my own. When I date, I use my relationship as an excuse to focus on all the wrong things. I get wrapped up in my emotions and in his needs instead of getting my own stuff done. It’s a problem. When I’m single, I explore all the other aspects of my life that I love and zero in on those instead. It’s better for me.
- I get to adventure and explore. For someone who loves being alone, there’s nothing better than solo travel and adventure. I can be selfish with my time and go wherever my heart desires. I’m not beholden to anyone else’s needs — I can run around all day if I want or I can take it easy without feeling guilty. I love discovering new sights and places on my own.
- I’m completely in control of my own money. I love deciding exactly where to spend my money. I can tighten up and save it or splurge on something important to me. I never have to run those decisions by anyone else or worry about feeling inadequate for making less than my partner. I pay my own bills and I’m proud of it.
- Single life allows me a great deal of freedom. I get complete autonomy in every aspect of my life. I can do what I want when I want and no one is there to change that. I can up and move somewhere else tomorrow if I decide that’s what I want. Big decisions are so much easier when there’s nothing major like a relationship tying me down. I like that intense independence.
- I like a non-traditional lifestyle. I don’t think I’ll ever want a “normal” life. My work schedule is all over the place and I love it that way. I have multiple jobs, tons of hobbies, and I’m always trying something new. I don’t want a family or a big house or a 9-to-5. I crave travel and I’d like to live in a bunch of different places. I only get one life and I want to make it exactly what I want. That’s simply easier on my own.
- I have time to grow and improve myself. Inner development takes up a good deal of time and energy. I always like myself better when I’m single because it allows me to really dig deep and become the person I want to be. I’m not squandering away my days on a doomed relationship. I get to work instead on a relationship with the one person who will always be here — me.
- I get to focus on my other relationships. Each of us has a limited quantity of mental and emotional energy. When I’m dating someone, I have to spread that energy thinly. That means that my friends, my family and even I all lose out a little. When I’m single, I can instead focus on being my best for everyone who is already important in my life.
- I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. The bottom line is that I’m so happy single, why would I give that all up? This is the best I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I know who I am and I’m working to achieve all my dreams. There’s literally nothing in my world that makes me miserable. I’ve built the life I want for myself and I’m going to keep doing so. If I do it alone that’s perfectly fine with me.
