I truly believe that one's happiness is not brought upon by being into a relationship. I for one can attest that i do have a lot of friends who are single bu definitely happy as compared with those who are currently in a relationship. Happiness depends in you as a person. As a single individual you can freely do things on your own without taking into consideration your partner. Freedom is very important for we can be the person that we want to be. i know being in a relationship would mean commitment, comapanionship, and having someone to rely to and to take care to but happiness doesn't stop there. Be Happy always may it be with or without a partner. Kudos to those who are Single but very much Happy with their lives. Cheers!!!

Very true. before I met my husband I was all into hobbies, books and graduation. friends teased me of having no boyfriends, it's not that I wasn't interested I did find some boys cute but the thing was that they were acting like they were the coolest richest best looking boys - well they were not, and still are not :) So no I wasn't lonely at all, but I did feel betrayed by some friends well that happened to everyone anyway. Only when I met my husband I knew it right there he is the one. Nothing fake in him, up to this date he is still the same personality I met years ago. I was happy being single and I am happy being married. I guess I am lucky in that regard, I just wish I could win lottery someday too now that I call it even bigger luck

Congratulations!!! I am so glad to hear that you found the man for you. I think we will know if he is the one if you both bring out the best in you. I mean both of you progress and not regress. trials and challenges are part of every relationship but this doesn't hamper your relationship instead it makes your relationship get stronger. I wish you win the lottery too!!!

Me too. Most people base their 'happiness' on a boy & girl relationship, but sometimes I find it fake 'cause some people just do it to show off - I don;t really get the point though. I'm single and I'm absolutely happy. I believe that love is not being searched for, but love is the one searching for you. Also, love and happiness are not only contained on boy & girl relationship, but it is also found in friendship, family and of course from God. As a single person, we can do freely what we really want without thinking of our 'partner'.

Thank you for being the fresh breath of sanity with you attitude about being single. It is truly refreshing to know that there are really people out there happy with their "singledom". There are so many other routes to happiness and fulfilment, why do we need to depend on a partnership to do this for us?

Now that I'm single and quite happy I think you rightly said it. I was in a relationship that didn't work out and it did a great harm to my life. I've realized that being single is much better:-) But, I don't mean that people in relationships are not happy. They are very much happy but are bound to each other in many ways. And I don't think I'm the only person feeling it this way!!! Being liberated is refreshing and good for health...hehe

Great to hear that you are happy even you are not into a relationship. Relationship doesn't necessarily ensure happiness actually it is a risk that we gamble into. thanks for the post!!! Have a great day!!!

Yes, having a partner does not even assure you that you will be happy. I have a lot of friends who found singleness a curse then got married and wished to be single again . I'm married and have no regrets about it but I was happy when I was single. And yes, single people have more freedom. That's true.

at some point i would say yes but on the other side as well, i would no. half way along those journey that we would take, someone should or would be around. someone who would make something in our life complete. i don't know what would it be but for sure when you are there, you'll know it. one of this days and when the right time comes, you would say that you need someone around to be with. just someone who would be in your side. life in this world is lonely when you traveled it alone. just my thought..!!

Well, not all singles are happy neither not all married are happy too. I have been single for a long time and I have the same idea with what you have. I always said the same. It;s nice to be alone, without considering any body, you can do what you want etc. But I come to the point of my life that I don't want to live alone. I feel bad when I get sick and nobody will take care of me while my married friends are being taken cared of by their partner. If I have problems, nobody will be with me to help find solution except myself. I have to decide in everything, no one to consult or give any input of whatever it is. That is why I said, good bye to singleness. to have a partner is good. It is normal to have ups and downs but when both of you are helping and cooperating with one another, it is fun!!!!
