Is being single the new committed??

My Facebook status says I am single.

I share ‘forever alone’ posts and my love for pizza is eternal.

Valentine day recently got over and we (all the singles out there) made it through yet another year of ‘akelapan’.

We celebrate being single each day of the year yet somehow during this whole Valentine’s week, we face the hard truth that we won’t be getting any kisses, teddies or chocolates.

To feel more sad about it I end up gifting chocolate to myself. Admit it, on this day all singles secretly support the moral police in their overzealous bid to preserve Indian culture.

We as a society are so wrapped up in finding someone to call our own; I got tired of finding my ‘other half’ thus I became one instead.

In a world full of people being ‘taken’ by someone, I preferred owning myself first.

Now a days, I see more single people out there (I clearly don’t know if people are genuinely single or just pretending to be one, or not into serious relationships); whatever the case is, “The Singles” are increasing in some alarming numbers than their counterparts.

To all the singles reading this, you know what you are? –

“TU BEER HAI BC”.

One flows in whatever direction one wants to instead of settling in any damn bottle.

It is just that long- term committed passive aggression is not our cup of tea.

I would rather catch a cold than experience lovey-dovey feelings.

I am not getting cynical about it because my relationships didn’t work out, but because being single is OKAY..

It is little twisted. We have cried looking at Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship which is basically unicorns, cupcakes and kisses.

Then we have seen the tough life which our friends have gone through in their relationships.

So, thank you sweet Lord for my proud singlehood tag. Instead of getting hitched, I think I will just get a tattoo if I ever want anything permanent.

Being in a happy committed relationship is not bad, it is awesome.

But not everybody has felt that awesomeness. Rather I found that being single is bloody awesome.

I have my own reasons to justify being single but the fact is we are too broken with all breakup and patch-up cycles.

We are too afraid to fall again in love because love requires patience and compromise.

I don’t think I am left with anything inside me to get into something serious.

As selfish as it sounds, I would rather live my life for me - the way I want.

My relatives are pushing me for ‘peelehaath’, but I’d much rather get ‘peelebaal’.

They are so worried with my attitude that they select any random guy for me and are like: ‘beta, meet xyz. Now love him’.

Another major reason for enjoying being single is that all the good guys are taken and it really sucks, but now I am dating the hell out of me.

My favorite kind of rings have become onion rings and I refuse to settle for anything less than Netflix and genuine skill.

So my question is, “Is being single, the new commitment status?”

Some people are really embracing their single status and enjoying a lot. Back in time, starting a relationship was like a mammoth task as people worked very hard to impress each other.

Now with advancement of technology we have put so many screening processes before dating, like our profiles should match or our status should be similar.

We don’t have time to communicate and know each other thus, for every other person we come across - what we do is swipe left and flush the profile.

Commitment is dying a slow death these days. Not because people are afraid, it’s just instead of being in fake relationships and facing more nasty breakups, people are rather comfortable being single.

Everybody thought of me as single and alone, but I took it as being single and free.

I am not single, I am actually in a relationship with myself and I think I am in love!!

All singles cheer up, being single is no more sad it is the new cool.
