In(Parentheses)

I'm a twenty-something in Northwest Arkansas trying to find her direction in this life. A perfectionist despite the fact that I often write in run-on sentences and have an unhealthy addiction to using parentheses and dashes. A self-proclaimed dork with a fun side and a color-coordinated closet.

Why It’s Fun to Be Single

It’s easy to come up with reasons for why being single at 24 is dumb/crappy/scary, but when you really think about it, loneliness sure has its perks!

  1. TIME: I get to live on my time.  No one but me to decide when I do anything or go anywhere
  2. FOOD:  I don’t have to succumb to any cravings but my own.
  3. SHARING: My baby brother was born when I was 13 months old.  I’ve been sharing things for a long time.  But being single now means that I don’t have to share anything- bathroom, food, bed- mine all mine
  4. HYGIENE: Yes, I shower daily.  But if I don’t shave my legs for two weeks, nobody knows but me.
  5. STRESS: None of that I wonder what he’s thinking, does he really like me, I sure hate his family, If he isn’t ready in 5 minutes I swear I’m leaving without him!
  6. MUSIC: Sometimes I’m in the mood to listen to Stevie Wonder or Soul Decision.  I don’t need you to judge me.

Don’t get me wrong.  When ’the one’ comes along, I’ll be more than thrilled.  But until then, I’m perfectly content doing things my way (aka: the right way).
