So I am single. Really single. Not in a long term relationship where we don't need to be technically married because we are so awesome together, but truly single. I have lived on my own for 15 years with no one to share the joys and burdens of day-to-day life. Sometimes this is great and sometimes this is sad, but most of the time it is great.
Here are some general Pros and Cons of single life:
Pro: No one else is dictating food choices in my apartment.
Con: Sometimes my food choices are an entire bag of Oreos for dinner.
Pro: No one is nagging me to do the dishes.
Con: No one else EVER does the dishes.
Pro: All the money I have is mine.
Con: So are ALL the bills.
The three examples above will all be evident here on this blog as things I struggle with: food, household organization and money. I realize these are pretty normal struggles for almost everyone, but managing them alone is different. No one shares the hardship and no one sees the small victories.
I am not whining. I have whined about being single in the past and it gets me absolutely nowhere. I am very good at being on my own, but unless you have lived alone for a long period of time it is tough to truly understand what it is like. So consider this a shout out to all the single girls (and guys) out there that are getting it done, on their own.
