Day #5 Single Isn't Lonely

5)    The biggest misconception you think people have about single life.

I guess the biggest misconception would be that single is lonely.

I don't think "lonely" is the right word though. I think it is just longing. You hear a friend tell you how sweet her boyfriend is or you see a couple holding hands and laughing and you long for the same thing.

For awhile, I thought it was lonely, but now, I see it as dreaming of the day when you can experience those things. I look at being single, as a time to grow. It's a time to get to know who I am as a person and what I need out of life. It's a time for me to see why I'm scared of certain things and face those fears.

Being single is a time to grow. It's not lonely.
