30 Days Writing Challenge: Single and Happy
When things got crumbled down between me and my ex-partner, it was my mother's words that pushed me to keep going in life. She told me that it is not going to be the end if ghe world if there's no man with me. Life on earth will still goes on as it still keeps rotating on its axis. I embraced those words and it's like that it has changed my perspectives in life overnight. Since then, I never think of getting back with my ex or to look for another partner again.
It never swayed my mind ever since and I never get tempted until now. For sure I'm always alone since my daughter isn't with me always and it has been always a lond distance parenting between us. Even if I'm always alone, I'm still happy.
For today's challenge, it's about being single and happy. So yeah, bear with me until the end as I state my reasons why.
Single and Happy
As the lyrics of the Kelly Clarkson's song Stronger, it says that, "It doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone."
I agree with that. You don't someone to make you happy and you don't need the validation of others. All you need is yourself and what you want to do in your life. Being happy comes from within us and it's a choice to condition our mind and soul to feel one.
In almost three years of being single, I never felt alone. In fact, I have learned to love myself and that's the thing that I haven't done back then when I have someone with me because I gave it all to them, so that I can make them happy. Through time, I have learned to love myself more before I could love anyone again and knowing that I gave value to myself now makes me truly happy.
I also have learned a lot of benefits when you are single and it's not just about being alone. You can do whatever you want without someone watching at you and scolding you if they don't agree with it. You don't have to ask for permission anymore if you want to do it. Well, who cares anymore, right?
You don't to ask for permission if you want to go to other places or you want to have an overnight at your friend's place. There wouldn't be someone anymore who will get jealous every time you talk to your other boy best friends or acquaintances. You can have your privacy back since no one will ask for your phone and social media accounts' password.
You can have your me-time all to yourself again. Less expenses and less stress, what a peaceful life, right? And yeah, you can't be happy if you're not at peace. So what are you waiting for? Broke up with your partner now and enjoy being single. Just kidding, lol.
Here is Day 6!
If you have a partner, take care of your relationship. Don't let it to be filled with toxicity. If you two are having a problem, solve it right away. Don't sleep while you are mad, fix the problem and don't carry it for tomorrow or you'll going to have a silent but sour morning ahead of you. Well, if it's really that toxic, then don't be afriad to get out of that relationship.
There's a better world out there for you. Don't bear with it. Don't waste time with someone like that. You will just hurt yourself and ruin your future. Take it from someone like me who have learned from my past mistakes. If you are reading my past articles, I hope that you have learned something from it that you can use in the future.
Finally wrapped that one. Thanks for reading!
