Well, well I know that I’m bound to get debated over the subject that I’m writing about by those fortunate people who are happy and loving being in a relationship and I’m glad that they’ve found their special someone. Today, as I lay over lousing in my bed and thinking about my life I feel a sudden gratitude towards the life that I have now and thinking that I’ve definitely matured and turning into the woman that I’ve always wanted to be.

I’m not saying that I’m a pure, chaste innocent girl who knows nothing about relationships stuff neither am I trying to imply anything towards anyone that I’ve been close with in the past. All that I am saying is I’m happy and satisfied with what I am now and thankful to everyone that helped me mold into the person that I’m today.

So,what are the perks of being single?

1. You will start indulging in the fetish of loving yourself first.

The feeling of loving someone and being reciprocated is awesome, knowing those tiny little tidbits about each other, and making a space much larger than yourself for that person in your heart feels so amazing.Loving that person to the core, accepting each other’s flaws and yes, the bond deepens but, when things don’t work out and things fall apart, You’ll start questioning yourself on why did it end? How could you have saved it? But, once you’ve let go and when you ponder upon it, then you’ll realize that you were so engrossed in loving that person that you forgot to love yourself.

Now, when you’re single you will start to look for ways to love yourself, you will go to watch movies, listen to songs that make you feel good, buy new clothes, buy makeup, go on to new places, meet new people, and look for all the ways to please yourselves and try to forget about the pain. So, in this process you will rediscover the love you had for yourself and will start grooming yourself to become the person you wanted to be.

2. You can be whoever you want to be.

Yes, you need not please anyone trying to be the person you are not. You do not need to worry about the type of clothes you want to wear, and nobody will be complaining about the size or the color. You can be a shy, introvert person for a while or be loud and wreck less the other times and nobody gives a shit.You can be at home at 8am in the morning and at Africa at 9 and no one cares. You can post anything in Instagram, upload nonsensical stories and no one bothers.You will be free and don’t need to give explanations to anyone.

3. You will explore your creativity and find hidden talents.

Not sure about it? Yes, You will discover your passion and re ignite your lost fuel for talents. Remember how you love to paint before and then suddenly you stopped because you found your muse and then, again when you’re single you will start to want to paint again, write poems again, sing songs again, start a blog, start vlogging, create a Youtube channel and what not.

4. You will start valuing your time like never before.

Of course, it feels wonderful to talk to that person over the phone for hours, it’s okay to bunk your class, skip work, lie to your parents, and so much more when you’re in love but, when you’re single each second becomes valuable to you. You have targeted time as to what you’ll do with in that time and you will look for time to do things you love, to hone your skill, to take out time for your family and friends and so much else.
