Ten Reasons Why Being Single Isn't Shit
Sure I did one of these before on old LJ but fucked if I can find it. So here instead are ten reasons why I am going to stop moaning about being single IMMEDIATELY. These are personal reasons rather than generalisations... I hope. So they don't imply coupledom or singledom is right or wrong. They're just my positives. :)
1) If I want to spend all day reading a psychology textbook, I can. If I want to stay up til fuck o'clock watching hockey, I can, and won't have to roll into bed at 4am disturbing the other person. If I decide for no reason whatsoever bollocks to this I'm going to Derry, then I can.
2) I am not actually that good at being around people constantly. People are fab and I approve of them generally, but if I don't get my own space regularly I will wilt like a flower and run out of energy. Alone time is the only thing that ever recharges my battery fully, as I have learned the hard way.
3) I am still in this really long Personal Development (blah sorry) stage. I don't know for SURE that a relationship would bugger this up, but is it a chance I really want to take? HMM. I'm actually doing quite well without a relationship - probably best not to tinker, right now.
4) I can squee in peace without the person I happen to be with totally not understanding my fascinsation with hockey players, comedians, or Tommy Bowe or why this is SO EXCITING - in other words I don't have to reign in my enthusiasm because someone else thinks I should.
5) I have a completely screwed up body thermostat. Tonight, for example, there were thunderstorms all day, it is SO HOT and god knows how I'll get to sleep. Having to then share the bed with someone else's body heat might kill me. This might seem like a terrible reason, but not having to share the bed EVERY night is fab. :D And I really do overheat and then that makes me ill and baaah fail.
6) I work full-time, I study, I have to fit in exercise, I have to fit in fun stuff, I have to rest, I travel 2 and a half hours to and from work daily. WHERE EXACTLY is the time? Oh right: I'd be fuckin' hard pushed to find it.
7) Domestics. Arguing about who's turn it is to do what now is not my idea of fun, yet this is a relationship cliche precisely because it is so true. No, thank you!
8) They say it's girls who are broody, well tell you what, when I was on match.com it was the BOYS who said they wanted children. Lots and lots of children. You know what I don't want? Correct: CHILDREN. EVER. This current incompatibility is a big problem.
9) It's a fucking shitty thing to think about all the time anyway: like I'm placing a value judgement on myself for being single. I sure as shit wouldn't do it to other people, so I need to bloody stop doing it to myself. It has no bearing on my goodness or badness as a person.
10) Utterly foolproof and surefire way to avoid ever having to be dumped. :D!
