Single is NOT a Disease!!

My fellow Single-istas, are you aware that sometimes people jump into a relationship because they'd rather be unhappy in one than lonely without one?? I just want to say this to those people: SINGLE IS NOT A DISEASE!

I hate having people ask "Why are you single? I can't BELIEVE you are single!" What does that even mean?

Single is not an affliction, it's not tuberculosis. I don't need to get a shot in my arm or take a pill 3 times a day because I'm single. And when you tell people you really don't enjoy dating and you're single by choice? It's like you go from being an afflicted person to a circus side-show freak. Just stick me in a cage next to the 2-headed man and feed me a bale of hay. Clearly I'm not meant to be among the ranks of normal society.

I am a woman in my early 30's in 2009, and I'm more focused on me than I choose to be of any man. I'm not even THINKING about marriage or kids right now. I'm selfishly working on me and my goals. I won't settle for anything less than I deserve (like dating a B.T.N.-- Better Than Nothing) and I make no apologies for how I decide to live my life.

Single means:
Simply
Investing in and
Never
Gonna
Let
Everyone else dictate me!!!

Rule number one of being a Single-ista is to wear your Single label proudly. Let people know that there IS a such thing as being happily single, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
