"Being single helps me to be able to understand and appreciate my independence."Im a Nigerian woman in her mid-twenties and in my country, being single is not popularly valued. Single women are often stigmatized so we often feel pressured to be married early and immediately start having children. So its not easy to be single but truthfully, the experience can be just as fulfilling as being in a relationship. "Being single helps me to be able to understand and appreciate my independence. You explore your surroundings and environments by yourself. You learn how to make yourself happy by being proactive with the activities you do and the company you keep. The main thing I appreciate about being single is that it has enabled me to love myself more. This is because I put my self-care and happiness as my responsibility. - Isioma"We're having a blast and are happy to be enjoying the single life."Im 28 years old, and three of my best friends from college got married when we were 23. I was in those three weddings all within four months of each other, fresh out of college, and Ive been a maid of honor twice and a bridesmaid five times. I moved to Chicago and instead of being sad about being the single one, Ive found a new identity through living the single life in the city. I live with two other single 28-year-old girls, and we LOVE living together."... We love that we can go to boozy brunch on Saturdays then go spend $100 (shopping) and have no one to report back to. Yes, we realize that were probably each others reasons were still single, but were having a blast and are happy to be enjoying the single life over worrying about finding someone.
