Did you just get CUSSED OUT?!

I know it's been a while so I thought it was time to get back to a little relationship blogging. A while back a friend of mine shared the following conversation she had with a male friend on Facebook:

guy: "who is the special guy in your life?"
girl: "no one...this lady is single"
guy: "what?! why?!"girl: "why are you surprised?"
guy: "you don't need to be single, you are too good of a woman"
girl: "so why is being single a bad thing?"

So... apparently...single = bad; relationships = good. So society would have us think. And so saying one single is like a cuss word! Saying you're single brings up a ton of different responses, right? From the "don't worry, he's out there!" to the sad "poor thing" look some older women may give you as if there's no hope for you! Well let me tell you, you better cuss some people right back! You better tell them that it's better to be alone than with some loser right? And that every single one of them was single and some point and so to cut you some slack as you attempt to make some wise choices in your own life. You tell 'em!...as kindly as possible....lol.
Being single is great because it allows you time to figure out who you are and what you want. It's a time in your life to pause and reflect on the relationship mistakes of the past and think about your wants for the future, and hopefully last, relationship to come. It's a time to think about what you gave up in the past for a not-so-worth-it relationship and what you're not willing to compromise on now...or anymore for that matter. Being single is not a cuss word, being single is anything but. So next time you're asked if you're single, own it. Say, "heck yea I am, cause I'm worth it!"




P.S. - I'm glad to report that my friend from above did just this and she is now in a relationship she can write home about!
