BEING SINGLE

It seems that all my life I have been conditioned to believe that the only good outcome for me was to find a man get married and have children.  Now I know this was all wrong.  I do not need a man to feel complete.

Single women have so many opportunities that are often not there for the women who chose to follow the herd and settle down with a husband and family.  These women have been so busy taking care of their families that they the have lost sight of who they are and who they could be.

Being alone can be a time for self discovery (or re-discovery), it can also be a time to grow as a person and to reach out for more.  It is a time to thrive, not a time to snuggle into a comfy cocoon and wait for "that man" to make their life complete.
What I enjoy most about being single is the freedom.  If I want to go overseas on a holiday I choose the destination, the activities when I get there and how long I will take for my holiday.  I have learned to enjoy my own company.  I do what I want when I want with whoever I want, no questions asked.

All this does not mean I am anti-men, because I am not.  Some of my best friends are men.  It simply means I don't feel that I have to have a man in my life to be happy and contented because I have finally realised that happiness and contentment come from within.  We are all responsible for our own happiness.
