Ambot nganong ang ubang tao feeling nila mabutang sa Guinness Book of Records kung single ka.. Kana ganing mura silag makuratan nga single ka nya sila taken. Hala ha. Mag sure ta.
So akong gibuhat kay napuno na ko cge'g paminaw ug "Nganong single ka?" "Aw mao ba? Kasayang gud!", I wrote a list of some great reasons nganong okay ra kaayo mahimong single. Not because bitter ko kay naa'y "man who won't love me back" but there are just sooo many things that we singles can do and just so many reasons to be thankful for... Bahalag single. Nice man kung taken ka.. Pero dili end of the world intawn kung single ka. Pag sure!
Kataw-anan man pero hala ha.. Tinuod ra ba jud.. Hahaha. Gi-share na ni nako sa akong blog kunuhay pero ganahan ko makabalo unsay inyo masulti.. You might want to add more so feel free so we can give hope to other single men/ladies out there...
So here goes:
10 PERFECT REASONS WHY IT’S GREAT TO BE SINGLEIt’s a bit funny how some people think being single is a disease. When at times they act as though taken aback upon finding out that you’re – YES – let us spell it out – S-I-N-G-L-E… While it’s sometimes hilarious or we pretend it is, for sure others will agree it too is annoying.
And there you go… You’ll of course say i’m just being bitter because at the moment, i am “alone” by status but hey, you must realize that it doesn’t define me and all the other “single” gals and guys out there. If you’ve ever watched the movie “How to be Single” and understood it, there are too many great things to be thankful of despite the “not taken” status.
It’s not that being “double” is a nightmare even when sometimes it is. Those into relationships are happy being in it. That’s good! But us singles can’t just die because we are. We have to live life the best way possible.
I’m naming 10 Great Reasons why i feel good being single. Yes I have to repeat that a couple of times. I am happy being one because:
1. I can travel wherever I want to.
While not all those who travel are rich, I am blessed that I can go to places with great and generous people. Some travels are by the way not pricey. It will all depend upon how great you are at being “kuripot” or “thrifty”.
What does this have to do with being single? A lot! Not all significant others can understand the good things about traveling. Yap, unfortunately, others will think it’s just expenses or worse – your reason for it is to find “someone else”. Isn’t it hilarious? Hahahaha. IT IS.
So while single, one can go around the world without having to worry about what your “baby” will say. If you can travel with him or her without driving you nuts, that’s great! Good for you!
But for singles like me, my phone gives me peace. I can travel for work and think about just me. If given the chance to be double the next time i travel, sure! Why not! But don’t worry singles, we are not doomed when we travel alone. That’s still a blessing! Cheer up!
2. I can eat whatever i want to eat. I have no preferences with food except you can’t feed me bitter gourd (ampalaya). Being single taught me to enjoy food so much without having to worry about a significant other if he wouldn’t like me eating this or that because it’s too fatty or too salty or blah blah blah. Single means cheers to eating your heart out! (hahaha!)
But then again, if given the chance to share meals with “that special one” why not. Don’t worry about eating anything yet alone. It’s not compulsory. Lighten up!
3. I can sleep whenever I want to sleep.
Your significant other will of course want to spend time talking with you over the phone or texting, skypeing on wee hours of the night or at times when you’re supposed to just hug your pillows tight and say good night to the world even when it’s day time. Sure, you can do that. But being single, you are able to enjoy your naps or long hours of sleep. Your mind doesn’t have to go loco just because you’re worried he or she might call or text and get mad if you won’t be able to answer.
In other words, rest is defined when you’re in a “not taken” status. While some taken ones can sleep as much, that would be perfect. I’m just saying that being single gives you more chances of winning that perfect side of the bed. Right?
Nah, stop that self-pity because you still sleep or wake up alone. It’s a privilege!
4. I can go out with anyone. Jealousy here and there – normal, yes. Sweet at times but when it has reached the 10th power, it can go below the belt. Words become too harsh. Things can go crazy just because of jealousy.
So there. No one will tell you NOT TO GO OUT with the people you want to hang out with. Your mind doesn’t have to wander if there will be a failing relationship in the making while you invade the dancefloor or you clink those beer bottles.
5. I can talk to other guys. It would probably be trust issues or insecurity pulling relationships down the drain when talking to the opposite *** becomes a big problem when you’re in a relationship. Being single, i can talk to guys all i want with or without malice! Hahaha. Nah, kidding aside, even when my conscience is clean, i don’t have to think about me getting into trouble just because i talked to my guy classmate. To the principal’s office and write “I won’t do it again!” hahaha!
[B]6. My time is mine.
There’s no schedule to follow. I can do stuff anytime I want. You are in control. While it’s great that you can share time with someone, isn’t it amazing that your time is yours? No partner to blab about eating meals on the dot, doing this or that at this time or else – trouble!
Nah-ah-ah. Your watch is made individual. You are to look at it yourself, manage it yourself. How great it is to see relationships that has learned to respect each others’ time. As for me? I’m all good managing it alone. Given the chance to share it with someone special? Sure! We just have to talk about it – yap- TIME.
7. I only have to worry about myself.
NO TO STRESS. This sums it up. Because if you would only have to worry about your own beautiful or handsome self, you live most of the time – stress free.
But of course it is an added bonus to care for people but to be stressed by them is a HELL OF A BIG NO. You don’t ever deserve to be torn apart just because your significant other said words you couldn’t handle! There’s this thing about impact when it comes to harsh words from people. What worries and hurts us the most are those that come from our significant others. Being single? I can eliminate that process. It isn’t that we are exempted from being insulted but at least, that part is out of the list. Hurts big time!
8. I can party. But of course! I can party all day, all night. I can just have fun.
Again, while there are boyfriends and girlfriends who would let you party or join in, you’re lucky. But as per experience, too many relationships fell apart because they don’t want their partners to have fun without them. My gosh. They have lives too!
For singles, we trust ourselves. Responsible enough, right? So why not party?
9. I can wear whatever.
Nope, not that. Ohnonono, not even. Oh please! Don’t wear that! Too revealing! Too short!
Like what the hell?! Hahahaha.
While it is sweet to say “I should be the only one to see those thighs or your bareback..” kind of thing.. It’s too much to be super touchy about what your partner should be wearing. Losen up yow! Trust actually. Be proud. Be supportive. But of course, if it is something that’s too ewww to wear, you have all the right to be picky.
It’s a different case when every single thing you have to wear has to have your partner’s approval. Well, single guys and girls in the house – we don’t have to worry about this, do we? We respect ourselves enough to have that decency when it comes to outfit choice, right?
10. I can take risks. You learn to trust yourself, believe in yourself too because it is a must. You become whole. Taking risks doesn’t mean you’re being insensitive or you don’t simply care. Taking risks mean you are facing life with courage because you know you can conquer whatever it is.
I have to make it clear that I am not saying it isn’t good to be in a relationship. It is! I am just saying that it’s great to be single too! Others may pity themselves for living the world alone but guys, you need to realize that there’s more to life than being tagged double. Look around you! You are blessed! You can do heaps of things others cannot. So cheer the freak up!
But hey! I think i have missed all other great reasons to be single. Anything you can add?[/I]
