Status: Single

When not lawfully wedded to a partner, technically, you are single. But this isn't what the general embraces. Singleness also comes when you do not have a special someone, which happens to be the accepted notion of the modern mob.

Though being single is a heck for some, it is in a way big deal for most. It is indeed an effort for widowed, a crisis for the aloof, a struggle for the broken-hearted, and a curse for a spinster. Whatever is its impact on people and whatever plight it takes one to, it is indisputably a fact for those who fall into such category. And definitely this isn’t only among single ladies, but bachelors, too.

Hypothetically, bachelors outnumber single women, which is again possibly the reason behind the agony. 

Is singleness really something to be afraid of? 

For hopeless, maybe. However, to assert that it is for most people is unholy. 

There are a number of women in their early and late 30s who remain single despite subtle criticisms they may haven’t known. They are single not just in terms of being unmarried, they haven’t had any boyfriends at all. And what really makes them astounding is that they never planned to have one unless “he” makes a good partner. 

Somehow, there are also teenagers who feel hesitant to have one because of the strong “No no” from their parents. And there are those who also do not bother to find one even if they are apt to it for they yet do not feel inclined and are unready to move their life to the next level.

As we take a closer look at these people, not likely can we say that they are afraid to be single.

Whether or not it is a frightening status is not actually what we should focus on. There is nothing better than considering the brighter side.

What are the advantages of being single?

For those with little resources, it is cheaper. For busy people, it is time-saving. For the career-oriented, it is a geat time.

True, a lot of people find singleness as a better course as of the moment while you are still making the best out of your life. Some have also conquered that when they are single, they are able to live their life to the fullest. Others even confess they are happier when they are single.

        

                          

If you classify yourself as one and you never have had really felt better, never assume you are defeated.

Acceptance is in any way a decision. When you feel deprived finding out you are alone when everybody is holding someone’s hand, do not feel bad. Be positive instead, knowing that one of your senses functions well, and that you are normal after all.

Never be cynical nor give in to becoming weary. Just as others are making the best out of what they have, then, it is also wise to be thankful of what you are for the mean time. When you found out that many are regretful to have resorted to a serious commitment they are not ready yet and when you realized that many your age would have lived a better life had they not given up their freedom too early, perhaps, you would learn to count your blessings.

Anyway, the last say is always yours. If you think you are in the right track of decision-making, sleep on it, ponder on. You never would have wanted to settle for anything less!
