Are you single by choice or by virtue of circumstances? Which phase of your life are you in? Have you seen the other side of the fence before being single? These aspects largely determine your outlook, whether you enjoy being without a partner or are deploring the fact that you are without one.
Freedom is a reason to be single and happy. A married person is limited to a point on freedom because he or she always has a partner to consider. “What time are you coming home?” “Where are you going?” These are the questions that can be asked once you are married and they merit response. There are certain things that you can’t do as a married person in comparison to a single person. I really love the idea of marriage but until that special someone comes along I’ve made a decision to be happy as I am.
Some think that being both single and happy at the same time is hard. Contrary to popular belief, it’s quite possible. However, humans are innately designed to be loved, valued and appreciated by another person be it family or someone else. A person can choose to be single but over time not being with someone intimately or emotionally can become challenging.
How can you be single and happy? When being single is a choice, you can independently make decisions that bring substance to your lifestyle. For instance, being single doesn’t mean that you should be sitting at home brooding or being embraced by doomsday syndrome.
In essence, you can’t depend on individuals to make you happy. Happiness comes from within and, therefore, it is your attitude that determines whether you are enjoying your status of being single or ruing it.
