I suppose I could simply make a list of the reason it is good to be single but that would do it no justice. I know that there are those out there who do not like being single and feel some sort of pressure from others or society as a whole because they are single and "time is running out."
I do not find peer pressure to influence me or my decision which makes it even easier not have a "significant other" to pressure me. Friends you can shrug them off a significant other is more difficult to do so.
My days are very busy, very full with little time to myself. I enjoy getting up in the morning and knowing that I have a sort of list of things to accomplish that day and if something does not get finished I just add it to the list for tomorrow. On that list is never "text my significant other" because if I don't my significant other will think it slipped my mind. Don't you think there is something wrong these days with texting? Those are brief and often thoughtless messages almost as if putting a check in a box. To me taking the time to make a phone call that requires more thought and actual effort.
I can come home at whatever time I want. Sometimes I have to stay late at work, sometimes I have to go to the library to finish an assignment, sometimes I just want to stay out and the best part about it... I don't have to answer to anyone.
At the gym a friend I haven't seen in literally 10 years suddenly showed up and invited me to go grab a drink later on, I can simply go, no ifs, but, no let me check, I simply know I can because my schedule is open and I want to.
As I sit here in front of the fire place with my dog by my feet and the lap top.... well on top of my lap, I think about how great it is to be single.
that's my thought for the day.... you may speak now.
