I'll take a SINGLE shot - no chaser

It's February. Love is in the air, in the stores, and bursting all around. I can already taste the discounted chocolate I'll be buying myself on the 15th. Also, there is a movie coming out that is called "How to be Single." So I'd think I'd just take that title for a little spin and use it to my advantage. This is the Jenuine version of it.

Single is not a status. It is a word that describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others. The reality is I am my own person, and if I can’t enjoy being single, how can I enjoy being with someone else?

Over my years and all of my "research," I learned some important truths about being single:

1. Being single gives you time to be by yourself, with yourself. You know, you time. 
2. Sometimes change is the best thing for us, as it opens us up to new activities and environments.
3. Being single does not have to mean being afraid to love. Staying open to love isn’t just about attracting a new relationship; it’s about being open to life.
4. Being single is not the end of the world. There are other problems that are more depressing than being single—hunger and homelessness, for instance. 
5. You will know happiness in the future—and in the present, if you’re open to it. Imagine that. Being happy single? Who'd thunk.

So I hold onto one important idea that I’d like to leave you with: whatever you do, do for your own happiness. Don't let someone else be in charge of your happiness. Major key to being a HUMAN with any kind of feelings in 2016. So get out there and flamingle if you want to you little single pringle! Have fun, be safe, be happy.
