The bright side of being single

When my friends askd me:" why are you still single?" I had a feeling that I was the most pathetic person in this world. If I had the answer, I wouldn't give them the chance to ask me this question. But I've been trying to figure it out. Then I come to realize that I really treasure my "single time".

Being single means that you will have more flexible time. You can fix your time according to your own plan rather than your boyfriend's or girlfriend's. For example, if you are late for your date, your girlfriend may get angery at you and stop talking to you for days. Or you may unfortunately be that girlfriend. But it never happens when you are single.

Being single means that you have to learn to be independent. You have to carry you bags when getting on the train. You have to keep your umberalla with you all the time. Because no one will come to pick you up when it rains. You have to train yourself to be a handyman or a handywoman when the bulb goes off, the pipe get stucked, the computer breaks down. Is there anything you can't do if you are single?

Besides, being single is the best excuse for being lazy. You can stay at home without doing cleaning or lauduaring. You can go for a dinner without make-ups or dress-ups. And  you don't have to worry about whether your haircut is funny or not. You can defend yourself against all the doubts with the perfect answer "I am single".

When I find out that I am not the only one forgotten by Cupid, I am so assured and relieved. But when I imagine that I may stay single for the rest of my life, I am so scarred and terrified. But I do think that love is not born of neccessity but of right timing. And I turly believe that everyone here will find your Mr./Ms.Right in the near future.

Thank you!

这简直是一篇啪啪打脸的speech...

事到如今，大四汪还是很羡慕拥有一份爱情的。每次看到身边的情侣们PDA，我想的竟然是：哇，好甜啊，甜死我了！然后开始自动冒粉色泡泡。。。她们的秀恩爱日常增加了我对爱情的向往，会觉得爱情真是件美好的事情。尤其是一个人单身久了，会不知道谈恋爱的感觉。

我知道，谈恋爱会很开心很甜蜜，但我不知道会有多开心。但是好像也没到为此焦虑的地步，因为人生还有好多重要的事情等着去完成。这种对爱情的向往和感慨很快会被忙碌的生活和糟糕的工作给取代。说到底，这类牢骚就是闲的，忙起来谁还有时间风花雪月阿，早把时间埋在被子里呼呼大睡了。
