Reasons Why You Should Rock the Single Life

For all those women that are newly single or been single for some time, embrace the singleness, it is not as bad as some make it seem, being single is not a curse and being in a relationship is not a cure-all.

I have been single for a while now and let me tell you that never have I been happier. I'm very happy with my life the way it is right now and I'm grateful for everything I have and everyone in it, I’ve done ton of work on myself, been hitting the gym hardcore, traveling, exploring and marking some bucket list items off.

I personally have experienced the most growth and self-awareness during this time and while there were some painful and lonely moments, they all led me to a place where I could break through my walls and do inner work.

I have made a list of the benefits of being a single lady.

You have choices

Single is a choice not a sentencing, single yes but I’m not alone or celibate, I enjoy dating but that doesn’t mean that I’ll take anyone that walks through the door. This is where being single is fun; you have a banquet full of men chasing you, but you get to pick and choose who to date, if one doesn’t work out you can drop them and will continue living your own life. So take full advantage of the ability to meet and get to know new people. Go out and make new friends whenever possible.

You have more time to focus on you

This is where you become selfish and turn all your attention inward; it’s important to take personal inventory by finding a truly amazing, healthy relationship with yourself. You build confidence and become completely content being on your own, you realize that personal power is not about needing a man. Love and finding a mate is not our main concern, instead of chasing after boys we are too busy chasing our goals, we chase after our future.

Personal independence

Women that has been single for an extended period are the happiest, because they have cultivated their own independence. We have enough money to take care of our bills. We can take care our own well-being, we have the means to fulfill our own lives.

You learn your worth and build patience

We plain and simply don’t want something that doesn’t meet our standards. We know our worth. We have the patience and persistence to wait for the perfect man that is perfect for us.

You get to do whatever you want

We live life as we please. You get to live for you without having to check in with anyone else or compromise on anything. You decide whether you want to get all dolled up and step out one night or just be a couch potato and stay in drinking wine and watching Netflix.

Life isn’t a race, life it’s a journey

You will be going to all your friends baby showers and weddings, you might even be the last one of your group of friends left single, and you are seeing everyone around you is settling down into the family thing and you’re not, but that is okay.

There’s no need to worry, there’s no need to rush.

You might be for a little bit of a wait, since your standards are pretty high & men that meet them don’t come around every day.

But when it does happen, it will be worth the wait.

Until then live your life unapologetically, wild, care-free & rock the single life.
