Over the holidays,
I’ve seen hundreds of these “how to” post on surviving the holiday season
single. And I’m not going to knock them;
most of the posts I saw were incredibly well written and clearly hit their niche
market. For the most part they did their job; they were entertaining,
got views and who knows, maybe even helped a person or two.
However, I, being
the bitch I am, am here to say the one thing I didn’t see in any of those posts...
If you are
having to read one these “how to survive being single” posts, STAY SINGLE!
I don’t mean
this to be mean, even though I’m not sure I can say that without sounding that
way. I am saying it from a lovely, caring place. If you are having to survive
being single, you need to work on you. If you can’t be happy alone, you won’t
be happy in a relationship. That advice is as old as the hills for a reason, it’s
tried and tested.
If you’ve
been here a while, you’ll know even I’ve fallen into that trap and felt my self-worth
was tied to whom I was dating. I had to take that advice myself and take a massive
step back and pick up the pieces and learn to love me again.
I’ve been
single this whole holiday season and for a lot of time before that, and I can
honestly say the fact I was single didn’t enter my mind once this holiday season, not even on New
Years Eve when I had nobody to kiss at midnight. I was just happy being off work spending
the time with my loved ones and also enjoying some much needed me time.
As always
these are just my thoughts on the matters, feel free to leave me yours; do you
think there is a need for singles survivor guides? Let me know in the comments box
below and as always, stay and play safe.
Love,
The Honest
Bitch
