Being Single..and loving it!!

In the adjective form single means :

• Not accompanied by another or others; solitary.
• Separate from others; individual and distinct.
• Honest; undisguised: a single adoration.
• Unmarried.
• Lacking a partner.
• Relating to the unmarried state: enjoys the single life.

And In the noun form :

• One that is separate and individual.
• An unmarried person.

In both forms it is utterly very depressing to know what it means.But the way i look at it,it has its advantages.For example :

• More freedom and independence
• More control over your time
• More control over your money
• Not having to tolerate another’s annoying habits
• No emotional roller coaster rides
• Ability to become aware of who you are and what u want to do
  

I bet every single married/un married/committed person will agree with me on the above points.Im not an advocate on being single for life.But its more enjoyable this way,atleast i can say this by looking at the far more unlucky souls who have crossed the barrier of being legitimate singletons.

I have a very close friend of mine who is a single mother.The kids not hers & iv never asked her how she got it.(She said dont ask,jus trust me!!).The kids so adorable and the family goes at lengths to support her.
I know what all she had gone thru to keep her,after all being single middle class south indian will subject you to so much prejudice.
Let me say one thing to her before i start of with the rest,iam proud of u,iv never seen some one as strong as u,im lucky that we got to know each other in odd circumstances and became such good friends.Ur what most women dream of becoming these days.

We constantly discuss about the +ves and -ves of being single and i always remind her to move out of that status.EOD we both get to have some more advantages of being single.Here goes:

• Flirt with every guy/girl that you want without apology.
• The constant feeling that you are being watched & adored by every other PYT's(this could be my misconception though).
• I emphasize on this,spend all the money that u have on urself,max to ur parents or friends.
• The unique feeling of being self content on doing everything without depending on others.

And as my "WISE"(she wanted me to mention this) sis-in-law said "I envy you your single-status travel experience...enjoy it while you can cos all too soon, you will be double, triple, etc","There is a certain charm to being single and carefree...gosh!".

But there is always a dull side to the brighter things,u cant get into discos/nightclubs(unless ur a girl,they get everything!!),suddenly you find urself being alone & have panic attacks(jus kiddn),you start envying the not so good looking guy with the wow so looking girl under his arms,u start observing people giving u 'that' strange look if u go to cinemas alone,killing time gets to be so painful,u spend magnanimously on every odd thing.
Who cares??its good to be single and eligible..cheers!!
