Will You Celebrate Single Awareness Day This Year?

table for one?

It's another year and I will be celebrating the annual single awareness day 2015 together with all of the single men and women on the world. But what would or should I do on this "holiday"? There are a lot of things, but definitely something to get over the fact that a soul longs to be with someone even for a moment. 

I am happy for people who are in love, and they should be, they deserve it. But we have to take into consideration the people who are also trapped in love who are actually suffering more than they are feeling love. They need help and compassion more than shallow concerns. 

And for those who are very happy in love, make sure you will still find ways to love your partner, love them beyond the flaws they have. If they are deep flaws, reflect and know what you need to do as love may not be the solution to all life can give us.  And how about us single people? Many would be emotional and think it would be a curse, karma, or a condition that needs to be remedied by quick love.

Being single is not something to be ashamed of. 

Remember that you are not the only single person in the world. There are billions more, there are people just on its path to meet someone and yet it would still depend if compatibilty will be good or not. Sometimes friction and tension may cause romance in the end, or probably accidents, natural disasters, or even world events can cross the paths of the star-crossed lovers.

Think of the religous people like priests, nuns, and monks who have dedicated themselves in praver and meditation even sacrificing their ability to be with someone and start a family. They would have also thought that they too need someone to be with, but found the love they seek in their rituals and the community they belong to. Indeed love comes in many forms and its completes us.

Being single is an opportunity to prepare oneself to the person they are meant to. Either in aspects of Physical (being fit), Financial (establishing financial stability), Emotional (being more mature in handling relationships), and Spiritual (knowing thyself more). Well 'sexually' would yet be applicable as it starts with the actual relationship and would sometimes depend on cultural openess and values.

So should I be happy being single (forever)?

Of course, each stage has its limits, being single forever is never fun. Being in a relationship that is on a flat line is not healthy either. Emotion evolves everytime, it is our choice to run after our happiness, and find it in people we meet. I do to have felt love and despair, as you can see from my old posts but I look into the other forms of love I can find my strength while I continously search for the one for me. I will change, and so will you. 

Suckling on interruppted love, bad breakups is indeed hard to shake off and will indeed take different kinds of therapies. If you feel bad when you see couples, then stop looking and comparing your life with them. Distract yourself for a while, and you might stumble on someone along the way.  

Happy Singles' Awareness Day, don't be sad and celebrate life, go crazy.
