Living a Single Life. My knowledge about it.

[Meditatingsquirrel79]

Part one.

Living single for so long feels good for me. Sometimes I am 50-50, meaning I am sad though Happy. Being Single, you got to caught that feeling. You got Freedom. You have things you sure want to do. More hobbies and more money in your wallet/purse. Hang-out with your friends. Your bed and bedroom is all yours.

Part Two. You hear that?

No more nagging, fights, the UPS and Downs in a relationship. No nags to hear just the wind flashing by. I've been in a relationship long time ago. Broke up EIGHT TIMES. Almost got married with her too. An Earthquake relationship can be with everything on a soft, solid ground. When crap happens, things becoming-"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"

The sounds of the bad relationship. The love you had for each other are broken mirrors. Some people have uncut relationships.

Part Three.

Living by yourself, you got more thinking to do. "What to do?" More fun too. Like my favorite philosopher said by Socrates. Knowledge-Virtue-Happiness. Know what to do with your single life. Think smart and you'll know what to do with yourself.

Welcome to my world.

I am single by choice and for nothing in the world would I give it up. I find that there are only positive sides. I have not found one single negative side to living alone.

You do what you want when you want, you don't have to take others into consideration when you make a decision and I only can get angry and blame at myself.

There is no risk of cheating, no mandatory schedule to get intimate, to perform or to deliver. I clean up my mess and I am only a slave to my idiosyncrasies.

That being said, I have no intentions to ever take the risk to go into a relation. When I read all the negative sides of it here on GAG, it makes me wonder why people torture themselves to be in a relation since it brings nothing but hardships and broken hearts.

Since I do not prioritize intimacy or sex, I am not losing anything not being in a relation. It seems that humanity lets itself be dictated by this 1% rule because sex is the most important thing in their lives and it dictates their behavior and life.

I live free of any such constraints and could not imagine myself living in a different way.

Freedom is more important to me than togetherness with all the negative things that it implies.

You may never realize or enjoy the feeling of a loving, long term relationship full of mutual growth, maturation and respect. There's nothing like it!

[SueShe]

@doglegleft That may have been partially true when you were young and that society was not polluted with internet and superficial behavior like nowadays.

When I see the replies here on GAG and how people behave when it comes to intimacy and sexuality, then it confirms that my decision is the right one. There are sufficient people with problems without me adding another unit to that sexed and single minded world.

You just stated all the bad sides without stating the myriad positive sides. Because something has some kind of risk, you shouldn't get involved in it? All things worth doing involve risk. A danger element. Part of the growing process involves going beyond your perceptions and preconceived ideas. Learning from where they derive as a child and adolescent.

Sex is amazingly virtuous and wonderful precisely because it is 'pointless' and has no purpose. A play element, in this maddening crazy world, where people take themselves far too seriously. An orgasm itself, for spiritual practitioners, is meant to give you a taste of bliss akin to enlightenment. The second chakra has implications in itself of being something that should be developed and is a different frame of consciousness along with all the others. Not something that should be just shut down and pretended doesn't exist aka a repression.

[SueShe]

@Levin So, you say that people do pointless things in life and that is what motivates them.

You have no idea what favor you just did by stating that sex is pointless and has no purpose.

So, all those victims of sexual abuse that now are dead, crippled or psychologically disturbed are just the result of rape, killing, stealing and probably another dozen crimes because sex is something that has no purpose and is pointless?

Wow! I am speechless but that just confirms my point that I want to do something that serves a purpose in my life and that I can look back later and say "that was not pointless".

Thank you for just confirming what I had presumed since a while now.

I'm pretty happy being single. Not for any particular reason; I just prefer to keep things simple.

Sometimes I'm worried I may never find the right person...

My dad fell in love with my mum when she was 19 and he was 24. She was so young back then, they kind of grew up together. It's so sweet, I wish I could have the same.

[Meditatingsquirrel79]

My parents got married in 1965. My mom was 16, Dad 20. Been in love since then.

[sageevalentinee]

So sweet! How lovely.

I've been single for nearly a year. Being single has shown me there's way too much worry about it. Of course sometimes things are better with someone special, but so what? Life doesn't stop. Too many people enter purgatory while waiting for their new love. You miss so much of life.

Being single is great, but finding that awesome gal to walk by your side is just magical
