Being single is only natural; it is when we are with someone that things are likely to get awry. When we are alone, we might get lonely at times, but we could also get lonely when we are with someone – and that is even worse than being lonely while being single. When you are single, it is easy to get over your loneliness and be happy again, but when you are in a relationship, much of what you feel and how happy you are depends on your partner. People are so scared to be lonely that they avoid being single at all costs and settle for anybody just so that they are in a relationship. And then fights happen, things do not work out and everything goes haywire. But if you are single, you can choose to be happy and actually change the way how you feel quite easily because you are then not dependent on another person. Undoubtedly, being single has plenty of perks. Listed below are the top 8 joys of being single.
1. You have lots of free time
When you are single, you have plenty of free time. You do not have to spend time with someone else just for the sake of a relationship and you can do whatever you like whenever you want. You do not have to give time to someone else and sacrifice your alone time for it.
2. You can focus more on career
Being single gives you plenty of time and energy to focus solely on your career. You do not have to think about more than just yourself. You can pursue your career and dreams just the way you want and there is no one else whose consent you will need to acquire or have to discuss things out and see if things are in tandem with him as well.
3. You can follow your own schedule
If you are single, you have only one schedule to follow. You do not have to follow somebody else’s schedule as well and modify your own schedule so as to accommodate and adjust for somebody else. This gives you the independence to get all your work done in time and have lots of leisure for yourself.
4. You do not have to compromise
When you are single, you are on your own and do not have to compromise anything to make someone else feel good. What you have to care about is only yourself and there is nobody else whom you need to keep in mind while making plans for yourself – you do not have to give up anything just to make someone else happy.
5. You have more opportunities
Being single gives you ample opportunities which you could take up and work upon instead of thinking about somebody else and whether it will also work out for him as it would for you. It gives you the freedom to choose your life path freely without having to consider somebody else’s convenience about and acceptance of the same.
6. You earn for and spend on only yourself
Whatever you earn, you earn for yourself and yourself only, and have all of it to spend on yourself as well. You do not have to worry about saving money from your earning to buy an expensive gift or present for any upcoming celebration or occasion. When you are single, it is an occasion whenever you feel like it.
7. You do not have to share
If you are single, you do have to worry about sharing anything with anyone. You do not have to always buy twice of anything you wish – whether it is food or any other goodie you want to indulge in. You have the whole house to yourself. You have the entire bed to sleep and no one will share your blanket. You do not have to get up early so as to be able to use the bathroom before going for work. You are automatically absolved of all responsibility of mindless sharing others have to put up with on a daily basis.
8. You have full control over your life
Being single also gives you complete and absolute control over your life and you can take it wherever you wish to without having to consult or take the consent of anybody else. You can have any job you want, you can live anywhere you wish to, you can travel whenever you like and you can eat whatever you desire – and there is no one to judge you.
