I feel happy about being single :) It is totally fine. There are a number of reasons as to why this is happening. Being in a relationship can be stressful, it can make you feel like you are tied down or are being controlled by that person. Being single can make you feel free in a way, depends on the person.

Not being in a relationship is a perfect opportunity to get to know yourself. This is physically, mentally and emotionally. It is very easy when you are in a relationship to forget about yourself but single you can do want makes you happy and find new things that excite you. A partner should be an addition to you not something that completes you.

You need to realize that you are good enough to make yourself happy. You do not depend on anyone else to enjoy and love your life. Having a partner by your side is definitely great, but sometimes you need to take what you learned from a relationship and move on to a better you.

You can still discover things for yourself, like you can still have fun learning a new language, getting a new hobby, experience new adventures-- on your own. Enjoy individuality as much as you can before you lose that opportunity of being alone and having some tranquility.

Do things you love! Go out with friends, go out alone! Figure out who really truly are. Once you make that connection with yourself you will be much happier. No one is happy all the time, no matter if they are single or in a relationship, so you have to be a source of happiness for yourself, whatever that means to you personally. You'll get there, it just takes time and patience :)

There is no "how" in this. You just have to embrace the fact that there will be happy and sad days of being single. Be open to all the feelings given by the heart and the mind. Don't be afraid to feel happy, don't be afraid to feel sad. And don't think about it too much. Stop thinking, start feeling. Never skip the process.

Being single sometimes can be fun, I mean not on a rude note, but like you don't have to worry about anyone cheating on you. You don't have to take time to spend with someone, you don't have to worry about someone trying to get in your relationship business. I know some people like being single and live just fine without having someone with them. Who knows.

Take it as a chance to explore yourself :) go out with your friends, make new friends, discover a new hobby, treat yourself to things. Give yourself self love, tell yourself that you love you, that you have a beautiful body, that you matter and don't need to rely on someone else. ♥
