Is being single a bad thing? HELL NO!

An increasing number of people around the world are opting to go solo. The number of American men and women who have never been married, are divorced or living alone has been on an upward trend for several years, according to the US Census Bureau.

Despite the fact marriages or relationships are less common these days, being single continues to have stigma and feelings of loneliness attached, no more so than on Valentine's Day. Feeling of loneliness among singles not yet having found "the one" still abound.

When you live life single, you have more time to take care of yourself, foster personal relationships that are important to you, and focus on other priorities that will help you grow as a person.
