Realize that this is a time for you and you only. You now have all the freedom in the world to accomplish so many things. You are free from the worry about what others may think. You can spend your time only for you without having to compromise or sacrifice. You can get out of your comfort zone and experience life the way you want to. You may even meet like-minded people along the way and forge new and exciting friendships, or more.

Being single can give you the chance to go see things you haven't seen, go places you haven't been, try things you haven't tried.

Its all about perspective. Being single can sometimes feel lonely, however it is a great opportunity to perceive 'singleness' as a time to develop and invest in yourself. Do things that make you feel happy, without anyone else. For me, when single, I find happiness thru yoga, meditation and investing in my friendships. The more you continue on a journey of self-development in which you find contentment in and of yourself, the more prepared you will be in the future to invite someone else into your life.

Love will come around when you least expect it, and even if it doesn't, that's ok too! Society makes being single a bad deal but remember that your worth as a person doesn't depends on wether or not you are in a relationship and that it is ok to not have a partner

Well, most of all the things that have a part in this equation, you ahve to love hanging out with just you. the first step is to be happy with yourself and to realise that you are complete and you do not need anyone to make you whole. You don't need to find 'the one', you are 'the one'. Learn how to have fun with yourself, laugh at yourself, explore yourself, think about yourself, before you even think about adding another person to your life. do all the thing with yourself you would normaly do with an SO. Who knows, you might just be te person you needed all along. After all, first and foremost, you are the person you will have to spent your life with.

Being single has given me a kind of emotional freedom I never knew I needed. It also gives me a lot of time for myself, my family and my friends. It's good to know that you're not being lied to, cheated on or played with anymore. You don't have to constantly check your phone or wait for texts from your partner. You don't have to cancel your other plans just to meet your partner. Overall there's a lot of emotional drama saved by being single. Most importantly though, being single teaches me how to value myself and know my worth and I am learning to be happy and content with myself a little more, everyday.

Realise that you’re free, you can make your own choices and you have a variety of people out there for you.
‘There’s plenty of fish in the sea’ and being single is basically deep sea diving. Don’t feel bad about it, embrace it because you’re lucky.
If you feel bad about being single, don’t, because trust me, it’s fine. You’re not the only one, and that means there’s other singles out there waiting to meet you and maybe get rid of that title.
Single as a Pringle and ready to mingle 😉
😂Anyway, like I said, it’s not a bad thing

Single means you're not attached to somebody which is a good thing. And when you are single there's no fears of being cheated. No need to be awake texting. No confusions about friendships. No fights. No attachments. No need to spend money on gifts and stuff. You have time for yourself. But the best part in my point of view is freedom. Being single means you can do whatever you want at whenever you like without anyone's permission. You're in charge of yourself. You can be happy and independent. I think being single is the happiest, most freeing feeling in the world.
