The main advantage of being single is that it provides independence and freedom. I don’t have to check in with others before making a decision on how to spend my time. There is still the dream of finding a guy who will become my own Mr. Darcy (not perfect, but perfect for me). If I want to go out and do something, it’s not too difficult to find someone to join me after a few phone calls. If I want to be alone, I can go home and spend time with my cat. There is no reason to worry about a husband or boyfriend becoming jealous when I talk with a cute guy.
On the other hand, single life has its own challenges. I don’t always want to go home to an empty apartment, especially if my heart is broken and it is too late to call my friends. For me, finances and chores are the biggest challenge. It is difficult to accomplish goals with limited income and time. Sometimes, I worry about what my future holds in store for me when I am too old to take care of myself.
Over the years, I have come to realize that it doesn’t matter where we are at in life… married or single. Every situation has its own advantages and disadvantages. What matters is that we make the most of the life that we have been given.
“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not;
but remember that what you have was once among the things only hoped for.”
