Being Single

I have been single for more than 2 months now. And guess what? I am really happy. Completely liberated. I am me again!

In fact, I’ve never felt better. I’m doing the things I really want, without having to answer to anyone. No obligations, no stress. Wow.
I never really expected to be quite so happy. I thought I’d be miserably lonely, pathetically abandoned and totally forlorn.

Surprise, surprise. I’m not! In fact, life couldn't be better! Life is great without rebounds! Hahahaha!

I don’t know if I feel this way (being overjoyed at being free) because the last relationship was so bad, or if it’s because it’s been too long since the last time I’ve had time to myself. Or perhaps, it could be that even I, the eternal romantic, has gotten weary of the dating game.

I don’t know. Playing games with people is tiring. Maybe I’ve grown up.

But really, dating should be fun. Being in love is fun. Being part of the 2 is definitely fun. So, why is everyone around me sounding so jaded? We really shouldn’t carry the emotional baggage from one relationship over to another. It should always be a fresh start since no 2 people are the same.

Yes, so the rest period is crucial. We need to become truly ourselves again, before we begin another journey with someone else.

So Alvin, if you happen to be reading this, take heart. Stop asking me if I have a new beau already. >_< color="#ff0000" size="5">people, start smiling! Life is too short to keep pondering over the "what ifs" and "should Is". It's too short to be serious all the time.

Just go do it! You'll never know if you don't try. It'll never be yours if you don't start. And it doesn't matter if you fail because it's no big deal.

Well, it's never a big deal in retrospect anyway.

Haha.

XxX,
