Our society tends to place immense pressure on us to find
someone and find our happily ever after. While this works for some,
it just isnt for everyone.
While relationships are great, there are a lot of benefits to
staying single. So, if you havent found your happily ever after
yet, or do not even really care to find one at all, dont dismay.
You do not have to have a partner to live a good life. You can be
single and still live your best life.
Here are 10 benefits to staying single you may not have even
thought of.
1. You can spend more time finding yourself.
While many people focus on finding a partner, you could be
spending that time finding yourself. I spent much of my earlier
years, worried that I would never find Mr. Right. However, when I
started focusing on growth and self-love, it no longer
mattered.
2. You can flirt with whomever you wish.
When you are in a relationship, you have to settle with one

people as you wish. It can be fun to date around and just enjoy it,
instead of worrying about committing.

If you are in a relationship, it can be hard to travel. Your
partner may not be in a position to travel, or they may not want to

from our focus. Staying single allows you more of your focus to
pour into your career.
5. You dont have to share your home with someone else.
Living with others, even if you love them, is no cakewalk. You
have to get used to dealing with another persons issues and lets be
real, people are difficult. Even we are difficult. However, if you
choose to remain single, you dont have to worry about dealing with
living with someone else.
6. You can focus on other relationships.
Our romantic relationships are not the only ones that matter. If
you have family, friends, and pets, then you know all too well that
those relationships are important too. When you choose to stay
single, you can spend more time with them.
7. You can rest peacefully.
Sleeping with another person can be nice sometimes, but even if
the cuddles are awesome, after a while, most people like their
space in the bed. Unfortunately, if one of you sleeps like a
starfish and the other does not, it can make sleeping a struggle.
Not to mention different body temps and different movements.
8. You can focus on your dreams.
While career aspirations and relationship aspirations are the
most typical, those are not the only dreams you can have. When you
