I sometimes find it amusing to listen to stories of young professionals that they are getting depressed by the fact that they don't have a lovelife right now. Sometimes I can't help but be irritated by people who joined singlehood for just 1 to 3 years and some of them even just for a few months and fret to their friends about it like it's the end of world.
I think that this kind of mentality of yuppies hinder a lot of us to be happy and have a positive disposition in life. Neglecting the things that we should be thankful for.
Well, I have written 5 things that we should be happy about even without a lovelife.
Disclaimer: This is my own opinion, you can have yours, this is my blog so create your own if you want to add or delete something=), or better yet post your comments:
5. You have a job - you can still buy your favorite starbucks drink, buy your cigarette, ride a taxi, buy Tshirts, that other people can't afford.
4. You're still healthy that you can still sit in your computer and read this - other people cannot even speak or see, but they're happy, so please don't complain when you don't have a date on valentine's day.
3. Earn extra savings - smaller phone bills, no need to buy gifts every monthsary, no expensive dinners, it will save you thousands. Save it for the rainy days, or for your next one!
2. You've experienced to be an ex and have an ex - at least we have tasted one of the greatest meals that world has prepared for us, and there are other peole who haven't, the NBSBs and NGSBs, well in their case, I'm willing to listen to them all day.
And the number one is!
1. You're still alive! Please, it's not the end of the world, it's not like the world will eliminate the people who are single. We, take note, we, including me, still have hope.
There are a lot of things that we can do while we're still alive.
My only advice is while we are single, let's do things that can improve ourselves, enroll in a class, learn how to play a musical instrument, take workshops like photography, travel around the Philippines or if you can afford even abroad. Let's do things that we can't do if we have a boyfriend/girlfriend, because I tell you, once you're taken, that's when you'll start missing the things that you can do when you're single. So make the most out of it.
Inspired by my endless ranting! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me. Yes I am still alive and have a handful blessings to be thankful for.
To add, I think I will be sharing a friend's advice to me. We should maintain a "Gratitude Journal", where we can write and enumerate the graces and blessings we receive for the day. I will be utilizing one. =)
Well said Louie! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that some people focus too much on finding their "Mr. Right" and get frustrated when no one worthy comes along. I say let's work on making ourselves a "Ms. Right" in the meantime :)
