There’s no better feeling than
being in love with a partner. Some people would say that being in a
relationship either romantic or not is the best feeling so far. This
is mainly because they can’t get enough of the other person or just
simply going with the trend or the so called status quo. While there
are common instances that people who are single are more proud of
their social status. They don’t need a partner; maybe they call
themselves superior? But who cares. I would fall into one common
denominator for this blog post. What is really better? What is
beneficial? What is more significant today? Being in a relationship
and otherwise single has its perks. Let’ see.
Here is something from an
article entitled “Why is being in a relationship better than beingsingle?” by Omar Franc in the site Magforwomen:
“The feeling of belonging is
priceless”
Those little things are beginning
to make sense when you are with the person you love. You get to hang
out and spend time together rather than being alone and feeling
worthless. You then begin to manifest traits that complement each
other. You see the world in a brand new perspective. Though, it may
demand a certain amount of time, but everything will be worth it soon
enough. And the most common line that I usually here is “I feel
protected and secure”.
Here is another idea from an
article entitled “10 reasons to be in a relationship” by Barton
Goldsmith I found at Psychologytoday:
A
well moulded motivation is always good. And having an extra hand to
provide some help isn’t that bad. Both of you who are in the
relationship can pretty much benefit each other. If you are in
college, your boyfriend or girlfriend can be an inspiration if you
know how to handle stuff accordingly. Also, your mate will always
back you up whenever and whatever happens, each person finds
joy in sharing in the other person’s growth.
Now that I have released some
thoughts about why being in a relationship is better, let us now
challenge the idea by the concept: why being single is better.
Since the majority of my life
revolved in being single, I think being single here has far way
better chances of becoming a better option. Some people would rant
about the perks of being single. And I would admit that indeed, the
ideas are far more realistic and beneficial than the taken status.
But then again, it’s my opinion and it shouldn’t be copied at
all.
So to start things off,
Here is an idea from an article I
read, entitled “Why being single is completely awesome” by
Brianna Wiest in ThoughtCatalog. She has some pretty nice ideas.
“Being single now means that
you’re independent and have goals and that you care enough about
your life to not just settle for whoever comes along, but to really
get out there and experience different kinds of people and make sure
you’re spending your life the way you want to.
The time I spent single in high
school and in college really let me get to know myself. And I do,
now, have a great grasp on who I am as a person. I can do things
alone. Do I wanna see a movie? Great! I can go alone. Do I want to
sit at a diner and work? Great! I can go have a cup of coffee and a
booth to myself. Is it Saturday and I have no plans and no one’s
around? Great! The museum is fun to go to on my own. And sure, I love
my friends, but if they’re not able to hang out? I am a-okay. Being
single taught me that skill. It’s a useful one to have. It makes
you independent. It makes you decisive. It makes you sure of what you
like and don’t like without someone else’s stuff getting all
muddled in your brain space.
It’s up to you whether to
convince yourself on what is really better and beneficial for you
sake. Being in a relationship and being single is not bad. It’s
mostly about how you deal with other people in life. And if you are
studying, make sure your social status is not harming your studies.
Don’t worry honey, the world still loves you single or not.
