Just a Little Reminder That There is Nothing Wrong With Being Single

We all know that person that seems to jump from one relationship to another without skipping a beat in the singles zone. And when you’ve married or just with someone for many years, the idea of being newly single can be pretty daunting. After all, being married means always having someone to bring to family gatherings, weddings, and other events that you could not possible imagine going to alone. But instead of jumping into another relationship like your instincts might tell you, take some time to get know yourself once again. After all it has been some time that you have been single, and you’ve changed quite a bit since the last time, right?
Here are some reminders for you as to why staying single and alone for a bit is a good thing.

1. You need time to heal. Let’s face it, if you’re recently separated you’re probably a bit of an emotional liability – making you not very good for someone else. That wound is still open, and having someone new in your life is not going to patch it up.
   
   
   
2. You have so much to offer, and just because you have no one to offer it to currently does not make it any less valuable. When it is not-easily-given-away, that just makes it more valuable. It takes time and trust to find the right person that you let back into your heart.
   
   
   
3. The longer you stay single, the pickier you’ll be when it comes to finding someone new. And being picky is never a bad thing, it means you know what you want and do not want and you’re not willing to settle.
   
   
   
4. To all those people that pity you when you tell them you are getting a separation, just remember: Meeting someone – getting married – isn’t the be all and end all of life. There was life before marriage, just like there is life after marriage. There are many great things that can happen to someone besides getting married.
   
   
   
5. Being alone can be a great and wonderful thing, and yet very few people know how to do it, properly. They don’t associate being alone with happiness, instead it brings up feelings of sadness, anxiety, and rejection. What most people don’t realise is that when you’re alone, you are free to be whoever you want. You can spend your free time doing whatever you please. Once you can learn to be happy by yourself than you’re ready to find happiness in the company of someone else.
