Single and Happy

Single and Happy.

Those are two words, that in our society, we don't think belong together. everyone expects everyone to be with someone. Seeing people in relationships, breaking up just to hop right back into another one, is such a part of our society that when you tell someone "I'm single" they say "Oh I'm sorry." Or they give you a look of pity. Or something on those lines. Just confuse them more and say "I'm single, and I'm happy."

Its a rare person who can say that though. And everyone who does, deserves to be recgonized a strong individual for being able to. That doesn't mean, though, that it isn't a struggle some days. I'm single, I have great friends, a job, I'm going to schoo. I'm figuring myself out, what I want in my life,and I'm happy. But that doesn't mean that it isn't nice to have someone around in that sense, that you don't want someone to hit on you or ask you out just so you know you're desirable by the opposite (or same, for that matter) sex.

And when it doesn't happen, your mind can't help but anaylyze why. Is it because I'm a strong, independent, intelligent woman? Is it because I don't have the perfect body with the perfect curves (or lack thereof, to those who love the sticks) and big boobs? Why is it that some of us seem to be the type that everyone wants as a friend but not as a potentioal partner?

Just something you can't help but think about it. I wonder about it more than I should, probably. But I am single,and I am happy.
