Sure, it's nice having to someone to wake up with or someone to share your day with, etc. And marriage and coupledom are beautiful things! BUT, we singletons (to quote the ever-so-painful Bridget Jones) need to start loving ourselves for who we are if we are ever to survive. Plus, what better way to enter a new relationship than with some good old fashioned confidence and independence.Trust me, guys eat that up.
But, what are the great parts of singlehood? What times make you so glad that there's not a man (or woman) around all the time? In 27 Dresses, Jane's aunt says, "Must be so hard to watch your younger sister get married before you." To which Jane replis, "Yes. Then I remember that I still get to have hot hate sex with random strangers and I feel SO much better!"
So my question is, what makes you feel so much better about being single? Personally, I love not having to shave. Or being able to wake up with dragon breath from all that Chinese food I ate in bed last night while watching My So-Called Life reruns on youtube. I take solace in spreading out in the middle of my heaven that is a bed, only having to leave room for my cat. And if I've had a bad day, it might be nice to be comforted by a someone, but it's also nice to take a bottle of wine into the tub where I will soak for hours and cry whilst listening to Enya or Joan Jett or Alanis. Guys never understand chick music.
Carrie Bradshaw tackled the question with that infamous "Single and Fabulous?" episode. But, I still say that single or coupled, we can all celebrate ourselves. So, what makes you celebrate being single? What makes you single and fabulous?
