To celebrate Valentine's Day this year, I have decided to focus the remainder of this week's posts on being single. In particular, I want to explore the various advantages of being single and how much I have come to truly enjoy it.
With that being said, do I miss certain aspects of being in a relationship? Well, DUH, of course I do. However there has not been a time in my life before now where I could honestly say that I was not only content but truly happy being alone. Throughout the course of my life, I have always viewed single people with equal parts pity, disdain, and anxiety. The anxiety came from thinking that maybe I would one day *be like them*! (Oh, the horror!!!!)
I hope that you can sense my sarcasm in the previous sentences because taking an honest look at my feelings from the past makes me cringe. To say that I have made such tremendous progress in such a short period of time would be a gross understatement.
For the first time in my life, Valentine's Day will not be a self-pity party filled with feelings of jealousy, longing, and loneliness. Instead I choose to celebrate the freedom of being single and the love that I have been cultivating for myself, which is the greatest love of all!!! 😊💖💞
