Single & Fabulous

I just can't help it. I love being single! There are just so many things less to worry about:
...I don't have to worry about the length of my hair or my skirt...
...the scents that I wear...
...what I plan to do with Friday nights (or any night, for that matter).
...making sure I have credits on my phone (when I'm lazy, or too busy, I can afford not loading up on prepaid credits)
...making sure my phone is fully charged (again, when I'm lazy, or just forgetful, I can afford leaving my personal phone at home or locked up in my overhead cabinet).
...then, I don't have to go about the strict regimen of returning calls and text messages...
...consulting on "we're in this together" matters...
...sending out FYIs (I mean, aren't all the stuff I have at work enough to keep me busy already?)

I can...
...stay out late, just hanging out with my girl friends...
...be friends with boys and men, without worrying about someone else's jealousy streak...
...not ask permission on who I should be hanging out with (and where, and until when, and so forth and so on)...
...splurge on just being a lady...
...spend as much time as I want in the shower...
...pick my own prettifying options (clear polish french tips vs. avant garde nails, nude/natural vs. red/rouge lips, clean lashes vs. loads of mascara, liner or no liner, etc.)...
...take my own own sweet time pampering myself...
...all, without anyone cataloguing me as "high-, medium-, low- maintenance" in his books.
In any case, I believe the guy's got to love me for me - lines, scars, blemishes, quirks and all.

I can...
...shop/window-shop like crazy...
...watch cheesy chick flicks...
...have free rein on my weekend itinerary...
...squeeze in easy into one-last-seat's...
...wander aimlessly...
...change my mind then and there...

Don't get me wrong, I am not anti-relationship or anti-men. Not even close. Being in a relationship is perfectly fine to me, especially if it's with someone you're crazy about. Some of my friends are happily hooked given and considering the flip-side of all the "terms and conditions" I listed above :) And I can't help but be amazed and happy for them.

In the same way, I just find the thrills, frills and perks of my "singlehood" right now as enjoyably FABULOUS. Again, I just love it. The freedom, the simple joys, the natural high, the crazy nice-ness of it, and so much more. While I'm at it, I'm going to have a blast!
