Being Single

Being single for me is being in control of my own life. I mean, I do not need to discuss with anyone on any decision I made. I do not need anyone's approval or disapproval, in some case for anything I do. I enjoy every minute of singlehood though there will times I wish I have someone with me, especially in moment of sadness.

Being single has its disadvantages such as a majority of friends are married or busy working, too busy to entertain me. The only time I feel I need someone is when I am travelling. Travelling alone is okay for me except the surcharge I have to pay for the hotel room etc. That is when I have to scout around for friends who are free. And it is tough when a majority of friends are married. I will certainly prefer to travel alone if I do not have to pay any surcharge.

I always live my life with a belief that one do not depend on others to make one happy. Ah, Come to think of it. What really makes me happy? I feel happy whenever I see my savings increases. I feel happy when I see a cute baby.

For a lot of people, being able to share happiness or sorrow with someone special is important. Being single means there is no one to share the joy or sorrow. Of course, one can still share it with their parent, friends, or relative. For me, it does not matter as long as I am happy. When I have problem, I think of ways to solve it. Why bother friends with all the problems. I think everyone have their own problems to solve without people coming to them with their problems. Then, one will have to handle one problem and other people problem. That will be a lot of problems.

Another problem with being single at my age is dealing with married men. Some of them seems to think that I am available just because I am still single at my age. Being single at my age does not mean I am available to married men. Dealing with married men is tough especially if they are your bosses. I have learnt over the past is a man scorned is the worst enemy one can have.
