No one wants to be single, that’s a fact. Every one wants someone there to support them, be their partner in crime, and have that one person that will love them endlessly. I would definitely say I’m a relationship type of girl, but I don’t think relationships think the same of me and that’s okay. I think we’d rather stay single than deal with another f*ck boy that only wastes our time, am I right ladies? Or how about staying away from messy break ups? Pretty sure we won’t be missing out on those. But most importantly, we save ourselves the heartbreak over a guy who maybe never liked us half as much as we liked them. Honestly, being single is not all that bad. Yes, movies make it out that if you’re single, you’ll end up alone forever, but being single has its perks. Maybe it’s my cynical mindset, but being single doesn’t always mean being lonely.
1. "Treat Yo Self".
Being single means you have more time for yourself. Yes, that sounds totally selfish, but is it really? You can get things done on your time and do them exactly how you want them to be. It gives us time to give ourselves a little TLC, something I'm sure we're all in desperate need of. So, from the wise words of Donna Meagle and Tom Haverford of Parks and Recreation, "Treat Yo Self".
2. Going Out.
No boyfriend, no problem. Ah, the beauty of going out, flirting with whoever you want, and just having fun. To be totally clear, I'm not talking about getting with every guy you see, but going out when you're single allows you to let loose with your friends and making a few regrettable decisions are okay, whether boys are involved or not.
3. Endless Girl's Nights.
Hello wine nights! Boyfriends may come and go, but your girlfriends will always be there. Acting as a shoulder to cry on or just someone who you can vent to, your girlfriends will always find a way to make you forget about those messy break ups or terrible boys and remind you of the fun of GNO's.
4. More Time With Your Best Friend.
Most of us when we get into relationships are so fixated on the person we're with that we may forget about the one relationship that has been with us from the beginning and will stay with us to the end - our best friend. No one will know you better or have your back endlessly as they will and that's a fact. Find the Tina to your Amy, the Kendall to your Gigi, the Blair to your Serena and reconnect with the longest relationship you'll be sure will last forever.
5. The Freedom to be Unapologetically You.
In the end, being single helps you learn who you are. You'll be spending a lot of time getting to know yourself more than you ever have before. So make sure to grab yourself a cup of coffee (with a shot of cynicism, just like a true Gilmore Girl) and channel your inner Lorelai because being single is one of the best things that can happen to us. Your Luke Danes will come eventually, but for now, it's all about you.
