30-Day Challenge: Day 12

30 THINGS IN 30 DAYS CHALLENGE 

DAY 12: YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP, IF SINGLE, DISCUSS HOW SINGLE LIFE IS

Whoa, this is a profound topic.

I am not in a relationship, and as per the opposite situation, 
it has its pros and cons.

Rather than rambling and steering out of topic, let's do this in a way that is interesting and easy to understand

PROS OF BEING SINGLE

• I don't have to report to or ask permission from anyone to do things that I wanted to do. Be it getting a radical haircut or taking interest in paranormal investigation, I am free to do anything I wish. I learn to rely on my own logic and sound mind, and listen to my heart.
• I am naturally in tune with guys more than with girls -- that is how my brain is wired. I have a lot of close guy friends and I like it like that. Being single, I never have to explain to anyone my close friendship with another dude.
• Love is a burdensome emotion, especially when the person you love don't take love as seriously as you do. I feel liberated without having the burden in my heart. Love for men, have caused me a lot of pain my whole life, and at this moment, I am enjoying the independence of being responsible of my own joy and pain.

CONS OF BEING SINGLE

• I have come to the age where most of my friends are getting married and having babies. It is burdensome for my family and I to keep having to explain when I am getting married, and why not soon. It helps if I am in a relationship, at least there is some explanation to start with.
• It is natural for human beings to crave for human contact. I know how it feels like to have a man's strong and warm hands filling my palms, the feeling of being protected by a man who loves me, and his warm smile calming my shivering heart. I miss that feeling.
• As much as I am scared shitless about having children of my own, a small part of my heart wants to experience this for myself. I can adopt, yes of course, but I want to have the normal family that I once had -- Mom, Dad, and the kids. How am I going to achieve that being single?

In conclusion, I am happy being single, and I enjoy it. However, I have no qualms about being in a relationship, as long as it will be fulfilling and worthy. I am a romantic, and although most people would think that this won't do me any good, but I have spent my entire life moulding my personality, and I am not going to settle for 2nd best. I'd say that I am stubborn to want to have what I want, but I have faith that God knows what is best for me. Maybe what I want is not what I need, and I will never find out being stubborn.
