Single Is Okay
Benefits of Being Single

Living single and being single is okay. Advantages of being single.

If being single is okay, why do I feel so totally alone. Is it because they are two separate ideas?

I have been okay with being single, and indeed still am. However, the mind is cruel. You remember those times with former partners that were good. The times that put a smile on your face. And you long for those times again.

What if they never come? What if that was as good as it gets? What if...?

I have done a tonne of work on myself over the past 7 or 8 months. Not a long time to some.

But I guarantee that I have done some really deep thinking, and have asked myself some pretty tough questions. What do I believe in? What are my values? Etc.

I have observed that I may be the only single person at the school that I am currently teaching at. It is a sobering realization.

People say that there is someone for everyone. I am not sure I agree. That is just something that is said to make single people feel better about being single. Most ads on television are geared towards couples or families. Where does that leave the single person?

What about Valentine's day? The family reunion? Hell, this coming weekend?!!

You can only watch so many movies by yourself before your mind starts to wonder what is up?

I think it is harder for men to be single. Most women have a circle of friends that they can lean on in times of need. Not so for men. We are a bit more isolated by nature. Just my opinion.

I realize that being single can be the best time of your life. Full of great experiences, self-discovery and happiness.

A happier and stronger you leads to a more successful relationship. So many people jump into a relationship after just getting out of one only to make a lot of the same mistakes.

All I know is that I hope to share this life with someone. Someone that compliments my life and I theirs. I hope...
