Single Life

While listening during class, I found many perfect examples of voluntary and involuntary single people. I began to think about why some people are voluntary or involuntary. I realized that most of the time when people are involuntarily single is when they are not happy with themselves. Instead of enjoying being alone or without a partner they think they need someone else who will tell them how good they are. I feel like every person should go through a bad break-up and realize how important it is to love yourself. I personally like many other people got my heart broken in high school and looking back, even though I went through a lot of pain, I am so thankful for that. The times when I have been single is when I have done the most personal growth. As a professional I think good advice would be for someone to find who they are and become confident in themselves before getting into a serious relationship.

In class we talked about pros and cons to being single. I found it very interesting that economic stability was a con because they only need to support themselves. There were many interesting facts about this topic that I had not known before. I think when it comes to family it is very important to talk about single life. Everyone goes through somewhat of a single phase and what they do during that time of their lives can make wonders on their relationships in the future. That is why we should know how to help single people make better choices for their future.
