By most accounts in our society, I am living a half-life of emptiness due to the lack of a significant other in my life. By some accounts I need to tear off my judgmental glasses (which apparently I'm wearing) and throw myself at people who don't look like GQ models, because my holding out for someone who does (which apparently I'm doing, although I didn't even know I found GQ models attractive) is what is keeping me single (which apparently is an uncomfortable state for, not only myself, but for others - mostly people in committed relationships - as well).

Hey, folks, I'm OK with being single! Are you OK? Contrary to popular opinion, I am not in a panic about this. While singlehood has loneliness as it's major drawback, it also has total freedom. Why is it so considered so strange and slightly threatening for me to be at peace with this? Ladies, are you having any doubts about your relationship? Because if your relationship isn't good, let me tell you, it's not so bad over here. I have my own apartment that I decorate as I choose, (painted the bathroom magenta), I come and go as I please, I cook and clean for only myself, I spend a lot of time with awesome friends, and I go out on school nights. If you're in love, more power to you, I hope to join you some day. But if you're not in ecstasy, what are you waiting for? It's way fun over here, I swear! (And if you get lonely you can just call me).

Just for today, it's OK to love being single.
