This week is another solo episode in which I talk about the topic of…being single!

I reveal how I feel about being single, how I think it’s perceived and, of course, why I think it’s fabulous.
 
Being a single woman is not second best to anything or anyone, and it is not a consolation prize. It does not mean that we’re lacking anything or that our lives are any less meaningful than anyone else’s. Being single is neither better, nor worse, than being in a relationship, and it is high time that it was normalised as such.

There is a general assumption that as single women, our primary aim in life is to get a bloke at any cost, and this is not necessarily the case. Many of us are simply living our lives, and enjoying those lives, undistracted by thoughts of a boyfriend; because we have plenty of other things to occupy our minds are our time. We are single simply because we are, not because we have sworn off men or we can’t find a boyfriend. Our singleness should not always require an explanation, in exactly the same way that married woman aren’t required to explain why they’re married.

Being single brings with it a multitude of benefits including freedom, independence, and a sense of excitement and anticipation about what may be around the corner, whether that comes in the form of a partner or any other wonderful opportunity that could be waiting for us.

The main point is that a life alone is fabulous in and of itself, and it’s time it was recognised and acknowledged as such.
