paragiraffe I love arugula.

just bitching

Tell me something.

Why, oh why, do people who are married or otherwise in relationships think there is something wrong with their single friends? In other words, why does being single somehow equal being dysfunctional? You could have everything going for you—career, health, wealth, friends—but still, they think you must be unfulfilled because there is not another person attached to your hip. I actually have more respect for people who find happiness and success on their own. And why do those relationship people think what they have is superior to being single? I have been there, and at this point in my life, I am thoroughly unimpressed.

What I have is superior to being single. When I was single, what I had was superior to being in a relationship. Some people just think they’re better…

don’t get me wrong, i loved being single. but i also really love being married. i think it all depends on who you are and it depends on where you are in your life. wouldn’t you rather be single and happy than married to the wrong person?

I hate it when they try to hook you up with every single man they know like it was a matter of life or death. Sometimes it’s just better to be on your own.

There’s nothing wrong with being single. Each side has it’s pros and cons, and your married friends shouln’t see you any different for being single.

Being single is better than any of the relationships I’ve had, because I’m tired of being dragged down by other people’s crap. Am I crazy for NOT wanting to take on another person’s burdens in exchange for sex right now? So sue me if I don’t want another boyfriend right now- it’s not always as good as it sounds.

i honestly dont understand marriage. i dont see what’s so great about it and why everyone (at least women) strives to get married.
if you’re happy singel, who cares? i’m not happy single, but that’s a completely other story.

That’s just stupid. Life is livable (is that a word?), even without a significant other. Screw them.

Single people don’t fight.

Supposedly the grass is always greener on the other side. That’s the thing, why can’t we just accept that our own lawns are good enough?!
