WHat Does It Means To Be Single....

Single means you have the time to grow and be the person you want to be. Single gives you space to grow.Sometimes, it is harder to grow when you are too close to someone. Trees are planted far apart so they can spread their branches and become strong as they mature. Single means learning to live by yourself. However, that is no more difficult than learning to live with somebody else. Single means freedom. You are free to spend a week's vacation on the beach, to take computer courses, to work late on an interesting project, to spend the day in bed with a good book or simply be with a person who has read one. Single means learning not to need a man/woman to make your life meaningful but learning to live with a man/woman because you want to be with him/her. Single means that sometimes you will wonder why you will bite your lips and feel wistful and wonder if marriage is better. Ironically, yet quite happily .

Single is feeling good about being in control of your life. It is liking and respecting who you are and why you are. Single is realizing that being married is not necessarily better, it is merely different. Single means that there could be something wonderful around the corner and you can take advantage of it.

LOVE. You may just happened to be a product from this four-letter word. The supremacy it has is way beyond nuclear powered explosion. It can be defined both ways – good and evil, and very much dependant on the minds that are handling it.

In the automotive analogy, the relationship is the vehicle, love is the steering wheel whilst the driver is the person who is in love. So, steer it right, gentle with tender, love will prolong. Steer it too fast and vigorously, it may just crash.

*SIGH* … Love is the leading cause of marriage, suicides, and bad poetry . But even armed with the knowledge of its side effects, people still insist upon falling in love. No rehab clinic or 6-step program can cure it. I wish to make our youngsters aware of love and its harmful side effects, frightening pitfalls, and dangers. Together, we can save some lives and restore some semblance of sanity to the world. If you or someone you know has the following symptoms: loss of appetite, sleeplessness, glazed-over eyes, aloofness, and a fondness for Michael Bolton music, they may be in love. Act quickly, get help, and just say no. bwahaha….

You'll find yourself latching onto a person and losing interest in other things, like eating, bathing or working. Sure, it's great at first, like any high. But soon you find yourself in a loop of questions. "Where is he? What's she doing? Who's he with? Will he call me today? What will we do tonight? Does she love me as much as I love her? Will he always love me? Will I get laid?" This is often followed by unexplainable rashes, nausea, and a host of very careing friends.

Love causes you to do things you wouldn't ordinarily do, like serenade a woman outside her apartment building on a moonlit night, leave the toilet seat down, or rummage through bargain basements searching for Broery Marantika’s Greatest Hits.

Seriously, I don’t have any sort of advice to give you in saying no to love. But after all that read, these are what I’ve been practicing:

• Suck it up
  You see your friends in school having their girl or boyfriends. You thought they’re cool and wanted to have one or two. My advice – SUCK IT UP. Seriously, it helps by just ignoring their wonderful stories about their relationships because most of it are just lies.
• Ignorance
  It’s a bliss. What you don’t know won’t kill you.

Urmm…why should I say no to love now ?? some of you might wonder..…becoz it is not yet for me to feel it.…I would probably write yes to love after I graduate… if by God will…
