Relationship : Single is a lifestyle, not just a status.

Hello , realized something today that I just needed to share about & YES, it's about the judgement of being single.

I'm writing this not because I 'dont want to seem lonely or 'forever alone"' but I'm writing from another perspective that others don't really see of people being single. 

Based on the above quote, it shows you that it's true. Being single is a lifestyle and not a status. Many of us judge a single person as someone who can't find anyone to spend their life with, who has something wrong with them that others dislike them, too into their careers, or basically someone who isn't 'normal' which really annoys me because 

FIRST off: We all started out being single, so why should we judge others when we're in a relationship (just makes us seem like we're boasting about being in a relationship ) which really isn't what 'being in a relationship' is all about. 

A relationship is between two people who care for one another - that's it, it doesn't have to involve attention,fame,success, reputation and that sort of factors. 

ANYWAYS, I'm tailing off here. =P My point being is, whether we're single or in a relationship, the main difference is the change in lifestyle. 

Both have their pros and cons for example :

* You don't get much freedom when you're in a relationship as compared to being single

* You lack the sense of companion when you're being single as compared to when you're in a relationship.

Either way, it influences your lifestyle. 

A lot of people choose to stay single & also a lot of people would prefer to be in a relationship - whatever choice that person makes, it does not mean they lack anything within themselves.

So if someone's in a relationship, it does not mean that they aren't independent (cause they need someone there) - it just so happen they have someone else in their life who they have around & want to share their life with.

Similar to if someone chooses to be single, it doesn't mean they they can't find someone or they are too focused on their careers and etc - it just means, sometimes they prefer their space .

WHICHEVER decision you make in your life - has nothing to do with what others have to say about you & trust me when I say - whether you're in a relationship or whether you're single - You're beautiful as the way you are  & there's nothing wrong with you whatsoever. 

So yes, being single does not mean you're forever alone or you're messed up or life's missed you out or something like that - it just means, your prince charming/princess is on their way.

Hey, at least you got something to look forward to right? ;) 

-

So don't worry what others have to say, how others judge you because of your current relationship status - I mean, if you enjoy being single , why not? OR if you prefer being in a relationship , go for it. [ I know this gets worse as you get older and everyone expects you to be in a relationship and etc - especially when you get friends or family asking you 'do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend already?' & it puts pressure on you] but hey, it's your life - not theirs. 

Either way, at the end of the day - be with what makes you happy . 

If you're happier in a relationship, stay in one & if you're happier single, be single.

And for all you who are still single & you feel as if you're waiting forever and nothing's happening to your life, maybe let's try to not think about it soo much :) & focus on ourselves first! =)

So while we're single at this current moment in our life,

let's make it count! 

#youwontbesingleforever 

Unless you choose to be.

Take care & Have fun
