Living Positive in a single life

How to not feel lonely when you are single

Living Positive in a single life
Pamela Hicks

It is hard to stay happy all the time when you are a single person. You go to work, go home, eat and go to bed.

Living a single life isn't all that bad, it is what you make of it. For me, I happen to be living with friends who push me to accomplish my dreams. It wasn't always like that. I have lived by myself all I did was work and go . I started working out and go for runs and yes... I even took myself out to eat. Yes.. It would get lonely doing things by myself but when you become happy with yourself, being around family and friends notice you may be happy with yourself as well.

Okay,, How do Single people do it? It isn't always easy.

Make a goal for yourself. What do you want out of life? Do you want a career?

Find a Hobby you enjoy like painting, being in theater, writing, reading, going to church events, etc...

Usually you can meet people when you leave the house and socialize but not everyone is comfortable with that. So,, What do you do? Enjoy your hobbies, set up a dating site if you want to meet your special someone.

Once you have set your goals and are going for them and staying busy with your life you will notice how much happier you are with your own life.

Keep in contact with your family and friends!! Very Important! Especially if you have family and friends who support you in everything you do.

Staying Active as in hobbies, sports, working out also helps you stay positive in a single life. Go for a small walk and enjoy the fresh air, you will notice a difference in your attitude in yourself.Go on adventures by yourself but if you do tell at least one person where you are going just in case something may happen to you.

Be aware of your surroundings at all times when you are alone.

Eating healthy.. I may not always eat healthy but I do try.. Does that Count?

Put that music you love so much on and dance in the living room. Once you find your happiness you will start feeling better about yourself and then when you find your special someone they will realize you enjoy life and they will do the same.

Surround yourself with positive people who want to smile and laugh at the silliest things in life. It is the smallest things life that really matter such as sending someone you love or miss a text or give them a call to tell them you miss them or love them.

I have been single for over two years and I am happier now than I have been in such a long time. I am focusing on my goals and dreams in my life, dance to the music, I had even moved to another state where there are much more opportunities in a diifferent state. It was a huge step for me but I am definetly loving it.

Enjoy every moment while you can!

Being single does get lonely at times but I don't have anybody telling me what to do or how to do it. You have to make yourself happy before making anyone else come into your life.

I wasn't ready for someone to come into my life and I met a wonderful, caring girl in another state via facebook and honestly didn't think we would ever meet so I friend zoned her. Once I moved of course and by the time I was ready to settling down she had found someone. Now we hardly talk and I miss her. She was also married at the time we started talking and I didn't want to be the one to cause a divorce so I had backed off as well.

Like I said being single gets a little lonely but if you keep yourself busy enough and find what makes you happy you will be okay. Sooner or Later someone will come into your life and sweep you off your feet. In the meantime enjoy your single life!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
