Self care! Do something fun! Hang out with friends! Try to embrace the single life, by understanding that you have more time to yourself and you are able to try out and experience new things!

Is this about being happy being single or about being happy within yourself. I think weve all heard the line you have to love yourself before you love another but how do you feel about this? Can you place yourself as the most important person in your world?

A relationship should be a complement to what you already have going on in your life. You should love yourself and be happy as a single man/woman because you can do things you love. Living with people is not easy! Enjoy the season you’re in, for it too shall pass. Learn to help you reconnect with yourself.

Being single is a great opportunity to focus on what is important to you. I have been single for 5 years and I wouldn't change it because I have been able to make all of the decisions for my future without needing to work around another person. I understand that not everybody feels this way but I don't feel like I need a relationship because I have always got the emotional support I need from my friends and family.

Think that you don't have relationships to stress over, you can travel as much as you want and nobody is telling you not to, you can even move abroad and you don't have to think about how to get your boyfriend/girlfriend to move with you. You have so many choices and you don't have to think about anyone else than yourself :)

I would say to celebrate all of the good things in your life! You can travel, buy and eat all the food you want, and you have full control so be happy!

I would suggest taking the time to better your connection with friends, family, and yourself. Learn new things, and become a stronger person in your own right. Also, take the time to enjoy the freedom that comes with being single. It's not all bad! Hope this helps! :)
