Lately I’ve been reading a lot of articles and statistics on the health benefits of being single and I have to say I couldn’t agree more with the findings. I have countless friends and acquaintance that are currently in unhealthy relationship and marriages and I count my stars that I’m not in the same rocking boat. However, I loath that pitiful look people give you when they hear you’re single, as if you’re missing out on something special. I mean, I’m all about having relationships and maybe in my future it’s a possibility, but for right now. . single life is bliss and here’s why:
1. Long bubble baths and trash erotic novels
2. Sundays dedicated to my own hobbies and adventures, not countless hours spent around the tv watching football
3. Breakfast for dinner and cooking never
4. 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep and no snoring
5. Decorating the apartment the way that I want it to look, no cheesy posters and stained rugs
6. No freaking out if I miss a day on my birth control
7. Girls night out without having to check in with anyone
8. No sharing my ice cream, Nutella or popcorn
9. Watching all the Sex and the City and Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathons that I want without complaining
10. Singing Alanis Morissettet as loud as I want in the car and dancing like an idiot in my living room without judgment
11. Clean bathroom sinks
12. Being able to to say yes or no to plans without consulting anyone else besides myself
13. Not arguing about what the temperature in the house should be
14. Being able to pack my bags at the drop of a dime and getting away for the weekend
15. Wearing a face mask without anyone freaking out
16. Sweatpants and granny undies
17. My paycheck is spent on Moi
18. Spending my time with only my family, friends and co-workers and no one elses
19. Flirting shamelessly
20. Gossiping over brunch with my girls about my latest date
21. Not having to shave my legs daily
22. Meeting new people
23. Happily excepting a drink from a stranger at the bar
24. No more cleaning up after anyone but me
