Why I Like || THE SINGLE STATUS

This sums up my relationships so far.

As someone who was in relationships from the age of 14 until a few months ago, being single was a strange new lifestyle change that came out of nowhere.

In May this year I suddenly became single and in a bid to get over the horrendous break up I jetted off to America to work at a Summer Camp for two and a half months (not planned). Some people have praised me for this, saying I was strong and that it must have been a great way to get through the break up, however I don't think this was a good way for me to cope. In three weeks I got hired, I got my visa and I jetted off to America ignoring any feelings of sadness I had. I didn't get upset, I simply ignored the fact that a huge part of my life had disappeared. This means that while in America I was on auto pilot, while I was doing it it didn't feel like I was actually there and when I got back from my amazing experience in America, little by little I fell apart. I've come to the conclusion that this is because of all the feelings of hatred and sadness I boxed up in my head, this created a cloudiness.

But now I'm ok, I dealt with the feelings, I'm not saying I'm cured from the heartbreak but I'm concentrating on the good things, life is pretty good right now, a lot better than it was when I was in a relationship. And as I'm writing this I feel like a weight is being lifted off my shoulders.

Why I'm enjoying the single status right now

When I come home from work I can jump into a lovely warm bed all to myself. Starfishing anyone?

I don't have to religiously shave my legs. It's nice not having to shave my legs every week.

I have plenty of time to myself, to look after myself. Gym? yes, please.

I can work on myself, emotionally and physically. Develop my identity.

I spend more time with my girls. Dinner dates.

I can do whatever I like. Socially acceptable or not.

I'm experiencing new experiences and taking opportunities I never could have.

I'm dedicating myself to things that matter and will benefit me.

I'm becoming a better person, a more independent person and I'm enjoying life a whole lot more than I ever could of imagined. It looks like I'm going back to America next year and I'm looking into doing a couple more life changing experiences.
