10 Reasons why being Single is Awesome

Being in a single life is definitely more enjoyable and fun than the way the word ‘Single’ sounds. With changing times, this singledom is becoming much more accepted and a valued term. Thanks to Millenials!

But even now the single status or being spinster is frowned upon by many. Specially in a cultural hub like India, everybody including your parents to some unknown parents and never known neighbors put their heart and soul to change your status from single to married. 'Being married' is the so called key to every lock in life and having kid is the so called 'master key' for sure.

Single people are mostly portrayed as the loneliest souls to ever walk on the planet earth. While I could point at least 20 different people who are all married and lonely. You don’t need a marriage to have company. Being married is not a solution to be loved. Loving oneself is the stepping stone to reach the milestone of being loved by others.

We all are either looking for the perfect partner right now or trying to mold the imperfect one according to our preferences. We all put our energies in changing the other and then only we will be able to love them? Have we ever questioned that what if we are also put to such litmus tests of changing and then only getting the love? Have we ever thought of changing ourselves and thought of becoming a better person because we love ourselves the most?

Why not for a change love ourselves first? Well, to be honest, being single does not sound romantic at all and I know it. But life is beyond romance and what if I say being single is the best feeling there is and it is awesome. If you are a single lady like me, you already know what I am talking about.

But if you are not or if you are a married person who just wanted to know how awesome our life is, dive in, coz I am going to explain exactly that.

1. You are free and independent

Freedom and independence top the list of single folk's treats. Singledom is directly proportionate to freedom. When you are single, you don't need to divide your time for others and thus you can utilize that time in your personal growth. So for all those ambitious souls, being single is the key. When you are single you are literally free from all those commitments and can do whatever you like. Like binge watching a show without being judged, like partying with friends, well you can do all that.

2. No pressure to look your best everyday

Yeah, I hear you saying; when you truly love someone they don’t mind your looks. It sounds beautiful in books, but is a fad in real life. Despite of constant assurances from your partner, your mind is coded to be conscious about your looks when you are committed. Singledom keeps you away from such lethal anxieties and makes you focus on more important things like career. When you are single you can stay in your night dress and still be awesome with your scrunchies. You don’t have to shave and straighten that hair every time you go out.

3. No fights, no heartbreaks, no drama

This is the part I love the most about being single. When you are in a committed relationship there will be times when you have to discuss something and you may end up fighting with each other and all the drama starts and the ego kills. When you are single the only heartbreak you will have is when you have a hair fall issue. Else you are all sorted my friend.

4. Do whatever you feel like doing

When you don’t have to long for your partner’s opinion on things you want to do, you are free of judgments. You are the boss when you are single and do things you love and you can spend your time the way you like.

5. You have all the time on earth for yourself [Me-Time, Self Care Time]

People in a committed relationship have less or no me-time at all. They don’t feel like themselves, because they are always with or thinking about the other person. When you are single you have more time to continue your hobby, work on developing new hobbies or do whatever the hell you like doing.

6. Your life, your choices. No need to seek approval.

Not many people do this, but most of them are always seeking for approval from their partners. Be it the outfit, the life decisions, the food they want to eat and the list never ends. I have seen people being completely dependent on their partners or completely controlling their partners. When you are single there is absolutely no need for you to seek approval from anyone than yourself.

7. You will start to enjoy your own company

It may seem weird right now. But it is true. When you start spending time with yourself, you will start thinking about the things you love and your goals more that you would want to get better at it. Who knows, you may even enjoy your won company and take yourself out on a date sometimes.

8. No expectations

Expectations are really a big problem when it comes to any relationship. When you are single you are actually free from both the ties. You don’t expect something from your partner, and when they don’t do it you don’t end up getting hurt. You also don’t have to live up to their expectations which can be a little pressuring at times.

9. Travel whenever and wherever you want

Feel like wanna pack your bags and go to a beach resort or somewhere else, you got that covered. You don’t have to ask them for their dates and schedules. You don’t have to argue on places to visit and stay, you can go wherever you like.

10. Build yourself more

When you spend all your free time on yourself, you will start to have a deeper understanding connection with you. You may have to adjust your goals and dreams when you are in a committed relationship. Being single is awesome that way because you don’t have to worry about others, and start working on that big goal you have and start living your dream life.

These are just the superficial benefits of being single. Now this post is not meant to promote the idea of being single but to portray the benefits of being single so all the single’s out there can actually start living their life without worrying too much about societal judgments.

If you are a married person and would love to spend have some alone time with yourself, don’t worry my friend, I got you covered. My next blog post is on different ways a married person have their ‘me-time’. So stay tuned.
