Lyndsay's top ten on being single


I am at a time in my life when every time I get on facebook I find out that someone is getting married, having a baby, or posted another twelve pictures of their kids.  I love being able to see this and am happy for my friends, but I am not going to lie as a single girl it gets old.   Most of the time I like being single, it’s pretty awesome, but there are days when I am very jealous of my friends who have started the next part of their life; so in honor of all my single ladies out there, I am making a top ten list of why it is awesome to be single – in the eyes of Lyndsay.
10) You get the whole bed to yourself. You don’t have to share the covers, no one is breathing on you, and you don’t have to sleep on a quarter of the bed because the other person is taking up the whole bed.
9) Laundry for one is wonderful.  I can go a pretty long time without doing my laundry because it’s just me! I don’t have to make sure the other person has clean clothes; I just have to worry about it I have enough white tanks to last me or if my skinny jeans are clean.
8) Shoes. I love shoes and because I only have to worry about clothing and feeding myself I can use any extra money I have to spend on really important things, like shoes and make up.  AND I can bring them into my house without having anyone wonder how much money I just spent.
7) Eating an entire meal of cheese is totally acceptable.  Not going to lie, one night this weekend I had mac and cheese, cheese and crackers and cheesecake– again no judgment from others. It was a wonderful calorie filled day.
6) Flirting whenever I want. I can go to the store and flirt with whomever I see. Every guy is a potential date… until you see a ring. Best part – you and flirt with more than one person at a time and you don’t have to feel bad!
5) Bad movies are totally okay. You want to have a Nicholas Sparks weekend when the big game is on – you go for it.  If you want to watch PS I love you and cry for two hours, it is totally acceptable (and you can eat as much cookie dough as you want in the process)
4) Your facebook skill remains as sharp as ever! You can spend as much time as you like stalking the guy you met at the bar last night, or looking to see what they guy you kind of liked in high school looks like now.
3) Decorating is easy.  My room right now is hot pink, and I have picture of my family and friends and random trinkets all over the place.  I also have a dresser full of hair products and make up, and I don’t have to clean it up or put it away because I am the only one who uses it!
 2) The only person you have to think about is you – doesn’t matter what someone else wants to do, or what they want to eat. You can do what you want, when you want to.  Shopping again, third time this week- why not! I mean I moved to a new state on a whim.
1) I can take care of myself!  Yes, it is wonderful to go out to dinner and have my date pay for it, and who doesn’t like to receive gifts; but I love knowing that I can take care of myself and I don’t need anyone else to help me live the life I am living.  I have come to realize that I am pretty awesome and I don’t need a man to complete me life, he will only enhance it.
Single ladies can have a wonderful life, and depending on the day we will admit if we love it, but sometimes it’s hard.   So to all my wonderful ladies out there, you are amazing. I know it. You know it, and you don’t need to be in a relationship to make you feel like you are worthy – because you are pretty awesome just the way you are.
You have it all & Confidence,
Lyndsay
