Happily Single ^-^

It’s love month again…..

I bet the guys are busy looking for their Valentine’s date while the girls are waiting to be asked. What about the single people?  Well, they are also busy convincing the world that they’re fine and doin’ great! Let me ask, why do people in a relationship always think that every single people around them should be in a relationship as well? hmmmm…(bcoz they’re happy?) But some people in a relationship wanted a way out, to be free and to be single again. Haaaah…the irony of life!

                But being single is a blessing too except perhaps during Valentine’s day, Christmas, your friend’s wedding, family/friends gatherings when you are always asked about your status. And during these days when the weather is cold, when you want someone to cuddle, when you need someone to hold your hand while walking on the beach, or a tight embrace to warm your heart. These are just a few instances a single person has to face (well, aside from PMS, menopause/andropause, taxes) of whether or not one enjoys being happily single.

                I know a lot of people can relate to this, the single who continuously search for someone special on online dating websites, hoping against hope that they will find “The One”. Hoping and waiting maybe that someone is living across the miles and would travel to be where they are. What ‘ya call them?the desperate singles? Nah…just kidding! Ok..ok… that’s so cruel to say and I must admit I’ve tried this too. I’ve tried my luck and I’ve talked to different men out there but I got tired and realized,  Is this how I really wanted to meet my future mate? Some are lucky to have met their partners online. But it’s hard for me to continue something I don’t really believed in, so I guess I have the right to say that there’s really no harm in trying.There are single person who’s hoping for reconciliation with their exes. They remain single because they’re still holding on for that love and believes that “love is lovelier the second time around” (well, it’s true for some people, not everyone are lucky!). Or waiting to be noticed by someone you admire. Praying that maybe someday that person will look at you in a different way, maybe one day that person will love you back or maybe he/she wouldn’t see you as a friend anymore but someone special. Which kind of single are you? And how long are you going to wait? Sleeping Beauty slept for years before her prince came. Rapunzel had grown her hair too long before she was rescued by her knight and shining armor. Cinderella had to suffer in the hands of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters before she met her prince charming in a dance. So if you are thinking where on earth your prince charming have been…just imagine that your frog prince is still a toad and would take a little time before you two are going to meet.

Many of us live in a fast paced adrenaline fueled society but all of us have always been looking for answers about meaning, purpose, and true happiness. Sometimes we missed all the fun and life feels like one long routine day after another. We always have a nagging feeling that something is missing. We missed the feeling of loving and being loved but the feeling of loneliness shouldn’t be the reason why we should jump into a relationship. We should love our self first and everything will just fall into line. The love for oneself is one of the first few things one forgets every time one falls in love. Enjoy your time being single, go out, travel and have fun. You’ll never know your destiny is just around the corner or you may have bump into him a while ago, or a seatmate in a plane, bus or train. Still choose to believe in love and (for now) be Happily Single!
