Blogpost #3: Is it better to be in a relationship or stay single?

          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:

          “Having a hand to hold as you go through life makes the difficulties we all experience easier to deal with.”
          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.
