Single. Never in a relationship. Never plan to be in one. It has never been a need for me to chain myself down to a romantic relationship as there are a thousand and one things that are more important to focus on and experience. I have always titled myself as a reserved girl, thus, It has always been a chore to let people in or let myself out. It has always been that way, and i can say that i am comfortable with it. Sure this current society is all about socialising and mingling to get to the top. But…. I’ll do it the way i want to. There never is just one way.
Back to topic, many have raised an eyebrow at my stubborn streak and wish of not wanting to be in a relationship . what they need to understand is that I'm nothing like them and they are nothing like me. They may have the urge and desire to settle down with a family and partner or perhaps get a trophy boyfriend: but not me. I don’t find myself ‘weird’ for wanting to live with my mother, all through my future, til death comes knocking on my door. I do not have to stick to the social norms of having to settle down, of being in a relationship, just to be unclassified as ‘weird’.
Thus, I frown upon girls whining that they have never been in a relationship ( considering that most want a relationship to prove something) making it seem as if it were a bad thing; making it seem as if the social expectation is much important than their own comfort. Ridiculous.
I mean sure, perhaps they actually do want comfort in the arms of a man who'll cherish them, but, I feel that in this current generation, there's just too many relationships that are more of a 'trophy'; a status. Its not something to be boastful about nor is it to elevate a person's social status.

So...what is it like being single? Its normal. Believe me. I’m living a normal life, in a normal day, in a normal society. And i’m comfortable with how it is. Without a relationship. As I’ve said, there are lots to do and experience. If there happens to be a guy out there for me, then, sure. We shouldn’t wish for a relationship to please society, if it doesn’t please us.
