The single life

All the bed space you could want

Yes being single sucks at first, especially if you have just come out of a long relationship. You are most likely moping and crying, not wanting to go out or see anyone else, you just want him/her back. The best way to get over this is to focus not on what you’ve lost, but on what you have gained; freedom, independence, a chance to be your own person again without fear of judgement or interference from someone who, as much as you like them, did get on your nerves. Sometimes. Just a little bit. So look to the positives.

You no longer have to plan your social life around someone else. You can do what you want, when you want. No more having to grovel because you chose a rare night out with your friends over a standard night in with them. In fact, you can now go out with your friends every night, without a second thought for anyone else, if you so wish.

You can dust off your LBD, bring back the killer heels and whip out the lippy for a night out, without being accused of infidelitous acts, flirting with that random guy in Ziggy’s etc. And even if you were flirting with the guy in Ziggy’s...at least you can give him your number now.

No more fighting for the duvet, or waking up freezing cold at 2 in the morning because they’re hogging it. And you can stay in bed for as long as you like without being judged (judgement by housemates excluded), eat in bed without annoying them with your crumbs...whatever you like!

You can shave your legs when YOU want (or not at all, if that’s how you roll), and nobody need ever know. And no need to worry about having to wear matching underwear anymore either.

So yes, it’s upsetting at first, but once you become accustomed to leading a life of freedom and independence, the single life really is the way forward!
