No boyfriend? No problems.
I
was walking around some bazaars and saw a number of statement shirts
with that caption and laughed. While I am happy for all my friends who
are blissfully in relationships, personally, I don’t think that would
work out for me… For now. As I have said multiple times, I am
currently happily single and I don’t think I want to change that as of
the moment. It’s refreshing actually to not even be dating right now
because there is just no pressure, no drama, no tiffs… And I love it
that way. At some point, I think I got tired of all the effort it
required and all the issues involved- the main one would be my
independence and refusal to inform my significant other of everything I
do. I find that prerequisite taxing, actually. Probably because I am not
techie or that I forget that I have to and that I seriously forget that I even have a
phone in the first place…but that’s always how I’ve been and it’s so
hard to change that. Trust me when I say I’ve tried and failed many
times.

I
don’t think the amount of time I am lavishing in being single and
staying that way is alarming… so I think everyone should keep calm and carry on and I’m
staying single and focusing on me… For a change. That’s my current
status in life right now and I don’t have plans of changing it yet and probably as long as I am blissfully unaware of the bad things that go with being
alone. But, hey, isn’t it also true that being alone is better than
being in bad company? Anyway, while I don’t have a boyfriend, it is
refreshing to know that I can still wear boyfriend-ish outfits… This
oversized men’s denim shirt I used for casual Fridays in the office is
an example of that. I always loved wearing men’s clothing as they aren’t
too binding and they are always very comfortable. While most people who
saw me the day I wore this told me that my outfit theme was very “the morning after” and
“what you wear when you do the walk of shame,” I couldn’t help but laugh, roll my eyes as I do
and respond that “the best part of being single was being able to sleep
around.” Their eyes all widened and there was a deafening silence (add
to the fact my current choice of outfit and that was just serious word vomit there)… It was like I just said that
unicorns exists or something. Of course it was all a jest…as I
followed it up with “I mean I
can sleep all over my own bed- left, right, middle,
horizontally…Gotcha” Sighs of relief became very apparent and I just
laughed along. Even I don’t take my brazen statements like that seriously. Hey, single girls can joke around too…

The disclaimer is that I must admit that being single is difficult especially when everyone
excepts you to be with somebody… Especially now, as the Christmas
season and with it the Christmas parties come along. You can’t imagine
the number of “why don’t you have a boyfriend?” questions that I get.
Staying single is not about having no choice… But rather, it’s about
making intelligent choices for myself… For the first time after 10
years of bouncing around relationships. I’m going along and making
decisions for “me” for a change and it is very liberating and I think I
want to enjoy this time off right now.

I’m
at that point where I’m not sure of anything like where I want to go or
who I want to be so being alone and getting things figured out is the
perfect option. But I do know that this choice is perfect for now
because I do know that a few years from now, all I want to be is happy.
Besides, as I was scrolling down my feed, I saw this message and it
basically captures how I feel: “I know what I bring to the table. So
trust me when I say that I am not afraid to eat alone.” Never settle,
