Life experiences are not mechanically predictable like math equations, real life and society can be chaotic and present overwhelming amounts of factors that shape each of us differently in each stage of our lives. We all come from different backgrounds, are given different purposes by the higher power, are taught by our families, and are free to choose who to become, and many other influences are at play. These choices cannot be labeled as inherently right or wrong, and are subject to constant changes and adaptations until we find an ultimate fit to our definitions of happiness. 

Some choose to have their own family, some choose to live in an extended family, and some just choose to live a single life because there’s just no one suitable. With that said, choosing to live a single life has become many people’s sound option; almost like a social trend. Speaking on its bright side (and not as a possible justification for being socially unwanted), people who are happy alone are those who can generally manage and balance one’s duties and personal well-being very well—that is, their health, wealth, career, daily life, and personal security. 

While it is decent that people enjoy and benefit mutually from their relationships during most time, we cannot rule out a possibility where things could go south, and both ends need to come to terms with relying on themselves in order to move forward. If you were caught in those situations, you may feel strange and lonely at first as you’re used to having them around, but as you adapt inwardly you will feel a lot more comfortable hanging out with yourself and start doing activities previously inconvenient to you as a couple, like watching movies alone, eating out, going to a bookstore, going to spa, taking care of yourself, exercising, taking self-development courses, and many more.

Now, let’s closely look at the upsides of being a single person: 

1. You have all the time to yourself, and you can use your time to freely explore an infinite amount of entertainment and useful activities. 
2. You see a boost in your decisiveness. You don’t need to wait for others’ takes on the issue (however, this is sometimes a blind spot. You should have someone whom you trust to consult on certain matters.) 
3. You have absolute freedom to design your own lifestyle, and your short or long-term plans, such as your career, personal finance, vacation, and retirement (very important). 
4. You have less worries, as you don’t need to be concerned about the welfare of another person and their family at any given time, thus freeing more time for yourself. 
5. Ultimately, you can just chill out without heavy attachments while moving about with life. 
6. In this modern age, we emphasize less on traditions and more on individual values to live fully, provided that we don’t act immorally. It is fine to let ourselves do what we want and just relax as far as taking care of yourself is concerned. In the end, no matter which way you choose to live your life, prioritizing and balancing are important. Let’s use your wisdom to guide your life and solve problems with composure as they arise. This article only illustrates idealism and is not meant to be idolized. It is merely a perspective on life that we would like to share with you. We would like to give encouragement to single fellows to do their best every day, and we hope everything will turn out the best for all.
