First of all, being single does not mean being alone or lonely. It means to finally have the freedom to make decisions about your life independently without having to worry about how your decision may affect your partner because you don't have one. YAY! Whether this is something you want to hear or not, every person in a relationship is miserable in one way or another. It is not an easy task to keep yourself and your partner happy for a long time, forget forever.
Let's start with the simple fact that you can go to bed whenever you want without having to call someone before you sleep. Then you can wake up in peace instead of saying sorry to your partner who's mad at you because you fell asleep without wishing them goodnight. Gosh, can you imagine starting your day like that? I've been through that freak show but not anymore. Every morning is rainbows and sunshine for me ever since I joined singlehood.

Also, you can flirt without fear. Everybody flirts, whether in a relationship or not. Flirting is healthy because it gives a good kick to your energy, keeps your wit intact and makes you feel attractive. If you're single, you don't have to worry about harmless flirts here and there. To flirt while being in a relationship could lead to dramas, heartbreaks and disastrous confrontations (as it should). Being single means having the freedom to go out on multiple dates and meeting many different personalities this world has to offer. This will help broaden your mind and help you learn things about yourself, your likes and dislikes instead of having to compromise in a long miserable relationship.

I know staying single can make you miss the physical touch. A number of women (I'm not sure about men) miss cuddling post break ups. But ladies, did you know you can cuddle your pillow that is filled with the scent of your perfume AND you don't have someone breathing down your face! Just because you miss the cuddles shouldn't be a reason why you should be in a relationship. If you don't like the pillow idea, get a cuddle buddy. It's the year 2022, I'm sure there is someone out there looking for a cuddle buddy as well.
If you are someone who likes to go out, you can go out whenever and wherever you want if you are single. You don't have to report your whereabouts back to anyone and you can have fun in peace. You don't have to worry or feel guilty about hanging with a group of friends from both the gender. You don't have to worry about coming home late, nor do you have to take the unnecessary tension of having to include a certain someone at every outing of yours.

Above all, you have the privilege of time to work on yourself. Your thoughts will not be centered around anyone but yourself. You have the time and freedom to take an art class if that is what you are into. You can sign up to a gym, take a little vacation without feeling the need to check in with someone else or you can watch TV in peace all day long. Being single is not just the better choice, it's the ultimate lifestyle.
