There are times when being single might weigh down on you. Society makes people believe that the ultimate way of existence is in a couple. They might or might not be right, but one thing's for sure - sometimes, we can be perfectly happy while being single. You're alone but never lonely. See the difference? So here are ten points that made me realize that I actually enjoyed being single. via GIPHY I never have FOMO If staying in on a Saturday night used to make me sick to my stomach back in the days, today I'm totally comfortable with lounging in my PJs and not giving a single damn about anything. Watching other people's Snapchats and seeing them get drunk literally gives me gag reflex. via GIPHY I'm no longer a serial dater I actually ignore all the random thirsty messages from strangers on my social media. Who would've thought? In addition, I can go months without a single date. I'm congratulating myself on this achievement every day. via GIPHY I value my family and friends more than ever I finally realize how important my family and friends are. I love them unconditionally and treasure every moment we get to spend together. via GIPHY I'm genuinely happy for my friends' engagements and pregnancies I no longer secretly hate how my friends are advancing in life. Instead, I'm actually happy for them. I can't wait to be an auntie. via GIPHY I enjoy doing things alone Watching movies, traveling, eating... I'm my own best company. I don't depend on anyone and I love doing things my way. via GIPHY I feel bad for people who hate being single Like, it's fun, relax! I truly don't understand why someone would be in a rush to find a partner. via GIPHY I don't try to desperately make plans every weekend I still remember the days when I was making weekend plans on Mondays. Today? I don't mind taking it one day at a time. Friends are going out? Awesome, I join them. Nothing going on? Great, I don't mind staying in. via GIPHY I don't mind being the third wheel anymore Being the third wheel no longer seems like the worst idea ever. I enjoy seeing my friends happy and it's so natural for me to join them alone. via GIPHY I realize that not everyone I meet is "the one" I'm not in a rush to settle down anymore. If the right person happens to cross my path, I'll take that opportunity. If not, I'll still very well manage to survive. via GIPHY I enjoy all the bed space Like, a lot.
