Everywhere I turn, I am surrounded by couples. They are kissing each other in the streets. They are holding each other’s hands, and they seem happy. Society wants to impose its belief that people are created to spend their lifetimes with their second halves.
Therefore, it can get pretty depressing for us single people who want to be alone on all those holidays which are spent with dating partners. It can get pretty depressing to be the only one of your friends not to have a partner.
It can get pretty depressing to be considered a bit odd if you have nobody in your love life. Sometimes, only sometimes, I catch myself feeling lonely and wishing I also had that special person I could enjoy myself with.
From time to time people tell me, You are too good looking to be single!” or, “Don’t you think it is high time you found someone! But the reality is that being single also has certain advantages. I am happy on my own, too.
I feel comfortable with myself, and I don’t need anybody to tell me that I need a partner to make me happy. Besides, I make decisions on my own, and nobody objects to me.
I do not need to make excuses whenever I do something wrong. And I have all the time in this world to dedicate to self-care. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family.
Thanks to them I realize that the most important thing is to be surrounded by good people, people who care about me.
