Sunkissed Thoughts: The Perks of Being Single

Ok...this post topic isn't something I usually blog about

(usually my journal only hears these rants).

BUT...lately, the question of why I'm not in a relationship

or why I have been single for "quite some time" 

seems to have come up a lot more often than usual.

Now, I know that it is not unusual or so completely

unthought of to be 26 and unmarried or without a significant other;

but for some reason, it confuses a number of people.

So, with all this recent talk and questioning,

 I was beginning to feel like the Lone Ranger in a 

town of love struck, wedding ring wearing, baby making,

"I met the one" saying, wedding gift registering people.

Then, I stopped myself and said "WAIT! Is that really

what I would want to be doing right now?" 

My answer was: "It would be lovely if I found the right

person right now, but no, I'm happy just as I am!"

Therefore, in honor of all us bachelorettes and bachelors

(this list may seem to be geared towards girls, 

but guys can appreciate it as well, I'm sure),

I made a list of all the reasons why 

it's awesome, OK, wonderful, fun, exciting, just fine, 
or even better sometimes, to be SINGLE!

Maybe the grass isn't greener on the other side?

Note to the skeptics: I am in no way bashing, demeaning, or belittling

the institution of marriage or the beauty of falling in love.

Both are magical, wonderful and beautiful things and 

people who have found happiness with them 

are very lucky.

This is for those of us who haven't been hit with

Cupid's arrow yet, and can or have learned to be happy alone.

Until next time, keep dreaming. xoxo
