If we be doomed to marry, we marry; if we be doomed to remain single we do. Kelly Rowland. Being single is about celebrating and appreciating your own space that you're in. Robin Williams. Nitya Prakash. Greta Garbo. Why haven't I got a husband and children?

I never met a man I could marry. Alan Ashley-Pitt. Luigina Sgarro. Julie Delpy. Hermann Hesse. As a body, everyone is single. As a soul, never. Shirley MacLaine. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves. Chris Burkmenn. John Mayer. Sue Grafton. Being single is a matter of time and patience.

We need to put ourselves out there so that we can find the person who is good for us. Being single takes a special kind of strength. If we wait for a long time, we start to feel that no one will ever love us. This is a flawed way of thinking because being single is just a transition phase, not the end of the destination. When we are single we feel like being rich because we have plenty of time, energy, money, and freedom to make our lives interesting and exciting, without having to worry about someone else.

Relationships involve a lot of responsibility that some people are not ready for. Being single is the total opposite. They discover that instead of being with the wrong person, they can make a great life for themselves while single.

They find a new type of happiness. A healthy person does not need validation. When we understand and love ourselves, our relationships are a bonus, not a requirement for our happiness. Single people can make their own happy endings without needing someone else to validate their choices and their happiness.

Prince Charming makes the story better, but even without him, the story can still be amazing and meaningful. Our relationships show that we are capable of love and understanding, yet they do not have to reflect our entire being. And your job is to burn with conviction. Have you ever been accused of seeming overeager to date? Or of chasing any chance at love? Though you may deem yourself unworthy of attention, someone thinks you are intimidatingly, unapproachably unique.

And then I told her that I thought single was a stupid term. It made it sound like you were unattached to anyone, unconnected to anything. I preferred the term singular. As in individual. The most common and possibly the worst reason to find a partner is to hate being on your own, or loving the idea of love.

Those venturing into singlehood are the Lewis and Clarks of a pioneering lifestyle with few maps, unexpected ambushes, and an infinity of adventures.

Therein lies its glory. There is little more exciting than being free to face the unexpected. No one to consult before making an impulsive trip, no one to argue with over timing big changes, and the thrill of risking it all for your own pleasure.

Get to know who you are instead of waiting for some magical person to walk into your life and make you more adventurous, richer, nicer, smarter, sexier, or more relaxed in your own skin. Are you in a relationship because you want to be fixed, or because you want to fix someone else? Both are tricky. Neither necessarily promises a happily ever after. You are your own best friend — you can find control over your own circumstances.
