The things I love - and the things I miss: being single

[justagirlforever]

I love:

- Being number one. All the time. I love it! Love it! Love it!

I do what I want, when I want & how I want & with whom I want; for me. Just for me.

 

For too long I let myself be second all the time - and just didn't realise it. Not a single bit.

 

- going to the park on the weekend. Or a museum. Or a drive in the countryside. Instead of having to stay indoors and sit and play computer games with the last ex to amuse him. Fresh air was clearly over-rated in his opinion - and no amount of persuasive efforts could convince him otherwise.

 

- being in charge of the remote control. Even though I don't watch much TV, I don't have to watch Sci-Fi all the time (much as it has grown on me and is slightly painful to admit). I can finally watch my documentaries or nature programmes or just girlie dramas.

 

- the bathroom sink free of blobs of dried toothpaste splattered everywhere

 

But what a miss - (and this is not the ex):

 

- Touch & Affection. Giving and receiving.

Being tactile with myself just isn't quite the same

 

But I don't miss being in love yet or having a boyfriend to love me. In fact, I'm not remotely interested. I have no problem going to the movies on my own. I have a wonderful bunch of friends to hang out with.

And this really is the first time in more or less 6 years that I can finally do things just for me. Without having to ask "permission" (such as getting a kitten and being told "no") or taking someone else into consideration.

 

So, I'm going to enjoy this for what it is. Me

 

(Ps: I'm getting that kitten soon! haha)

 

Anyone else (single) with things they love and miss being single?

Lately I've been working way too much and I miss:

coming home to someone who can make me smile, who will give me a back rub, lull me to sleep and make me feel like everything is going to be ok no matter what.

 

Does that make me a needy girlfriend? Or does it only make my ex-boyfriend a hero? He was a great guy. Sigh. I miss him.

 

I love... what I love about being single (I've been single so long!):

 

definitely thinking about me first (I sometimes start to worry that I'm to self-centered). Not having to negociate plans.

[DOA]

I am an extremely private and independent person, but despite everything, I would still pick the hardships, emotions and complications that come with a relationship over a single life anyday.

 

It's possible to still live your own life in a relationship, as well as have a combined one, but it's not a fun thing to be alone forever.
