Why Being Single Is Okay Sometimes

Sometimes it is better.

Some people think being without a significant other makes them a complete loner, but I am here to tell you there is so many good attributes that come with being single! Here are a few great benefits of the riding solo life.

Time for Yourself

Every person needs time to enjoy life on their own. This is the point where you can reach out and discover your own personality. You get to find out the things that make you happy and also find out the things that really tick you off. You get to do anything you want and make decisions only for yourself.

Get to Spend More Time With Your Friends

Usually if you gain a significant other, you have to spend less time with your fun and kooky friends. If you are single, you can pretty much spend as much time as you want with them. You do not have to worry about trying to please both parties or being fought over.

You’re Not Tied Down

Being single means you are on the market right? This means you can go out on a Friday night and run into an attractive person, and you can totally flirt with him. Without the strings attached, you are free to just get out and be your crazy self around anyone. You also get to meet a variety of people, which in return, gives you an opportunity to find out what kind of people you mesh with well.

You Don’t Have to Shave

That’s right, you see it. You do not really have anyone you want to impress. So, who cares if you have hairy body parts? No one, you can feel free to rock the nasty unkempt beard or flaunt the prickly cactus legs. Either way, it is ultimately whatever makes you comfortable.

You Can Wear Anything You Want

Like stated previously, you are not trying to impress anyone. If you want to dress lazy and wear sweat pants, go for it! If you want to dress classy with a suit and tie, do it! Let say you want to wear that slim, sexy, red dress you’ve got tucked away in your closet, wear it! It is your decision and no one is going to challenge your own individuality.

You Can Jam to Songs About being Single

Many celebrities have written songs about the joys of being single. You can pretty much listen to those on repeat. For instance, when you go on a road trip with some of your closest friends, you can blast these kinds of songs and sing along. Some of the songs are: “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cindy Lauper, “Single ladies” by Beyonce, “It’s my Life” by Bon Jovi, “Single” by Natasha Bedingfield, “I Don’t Wanna Be in Love” by Good Charlotte, "Ridin’ Solo" by Jason Derulo, “U + Ur Hand" by P!nk, and many more.

With that said, go out and get your dance on. Enjoy your freedom while you have it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
