Relationships can be amazing things. Your partner can be supportive, fun, and your best friend. But on the other end of the spectrum, what happens when you get too close? What happens when you become a singular item and can't get any space for yourself? Resentment builds. Being too close to your partner can actually be a bad thing. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but hear me out. Relationships aren't two halves coming together. They're two whole individuals choosing to be together. They're meant to be complementary, not complete you. You're complete on your own.

Being single can suck. But it really, really shouldn't. When you're single and unattached, you'll have the most time and opportunity to grow and expand your identity. You can discover more about yourself, and figure out what you need in a partner. You can start living your happy single life now if you're ready to take advantage of it!
