I talked to a friend last week and wished I hadn’t. It was a day after the ‘heart’ day and I should have guessed that she would raise her favorite topic: LOVE. I have nothing against it only that I know where it would lead as always.
So I just let her talk while I munch on my merienda, I don’t really feel guilty for not paying attention on what she was saying (I’d probably heard it anyway… she has a tendency to be so redundant!) besides she looked nostalgic she’ll probably didn’t want any interruptions. Or so I thought. Because after hearing her say that she’s never been happy now that she already have someone (hey, I did listen to her after all…) she turned to me and said “I want you to be happy like me.” I was like Duh? Do I look like I'm not happy because I'm single?!
Well actually she was not the first person who told me that. Almost all my friends, at one point did. I understand and I know they mean well, that maybe they only want me to experience the “happiness” that comes in loving someone. But sometimes it gets annoying, especially when they look at me like I'm some kind of a weirdo.
I admit that were times when I felt like saying yes to the first guy who shows interest, so I could relate to them whenever they talked about it and just so they would stop. But it’s not me. I'm not in any rush to get hitched. If someone comes along that would make me change my mind then it would be nice but if not it would still okay because being happy for me doesn’t necessarily mean having someone (I hate to think that my happiness depends on another person…).
Being single is not as bad as many people thinks. Actually it is fun. I don’t have to worry about a boyfriend asking me where I am and who I am with, can stay out late, drink, party, out of town, meet new male friends with no one accusing me of being unfaithful.
Besides I'm having the time of my life discovering me. Who cares if I have to spend another valentine alone? I love being single and free…
