So, I have now been officially single for just over 6 months, however for the majority of those 6 months, I had a boy in my life who was quite clearly more than just a friend.. So I've now been properly single for 10 days and I've started to realise why single is great..
1) I get my bed to yourself every night - unless I have a friend stay over.. in which case we girly giggle and talk about smelly boys! This is an added bonus for me as I seem to always end up with chronic snorers!
2) I don't have to shave my legs!! I've shaved them twice in 10 days.. Up until 10 days ago I was shaving them on average, every other day! It's so much warmer and when I do finally shave them, it feels like a momentous occasion!
3) I can kiss random boys! I've not kissed random boys for years and I'd forgotten how good it can be!
4) I don't feel suffocated.. As much as I loved the last 2 boys in my life, I sometimes felt like I was losing control, drowning in the relationship. With the first one, I felt like I was being drowned by me trying to be the perfect girlfriend for him (turns out I wasn't) and with the second one, I felt like I was being drowned by rushing into something so soon after last time. I also put far too much focus into not doing what I did with the first one to make it work.. If you know what I mean?!
5) Getting "me time" - I never really let myself get to know me as a single girl again after splitting up with boy number 1.. I was pretty much straight in there with boy number 2.. But now I am discovering who I am and I realise that I've changed an awful lot over the past 4 years and it's all good. For now, it's all about me!
6) Point number six, I have only discovered within the past 3 nights.. Falling to sleep with the radio on, I absolutely love it!! Although I am slightly concerned that my sleepy radio station of choice is Radio 2.. When did I get so old?
That's all the reasons for why being single is great for now.. But I think I have discovered quite a lot in just 10 days, especially as I thought my life was practically all but over!! x

ReplyDeleteTo be a single isn`t a illnes! If you have learnt to love yor self first, becuase you are the most important person in your live. Than you have to learn to be alone. Being alone does not mean being lonely. Thats a big difference.
If you go to a party, sit down in a corner and observe the twosomes. Watch the body language and how they deal with each other. You'll find out that most of them are not happy behind their facade.
Partnership should always be carried out at eye level
Book Tipp: "Erich Fromm; The Art of love" read it and be astonished <3 xoxo
