25 Single Quotes to Celebrate Self-Love and Self-Discovery

Being single is not always easy since

our friends, family or society can sometimes make us feel bad for not being in

a relationship.

Whether you choose to stay single or

it simply happened, it’s hard not to feel some kind of pressure especially

around holidays or when we have to attend certain events. There’s always going

to be someone asking “Will it just be you?”

But the truth is, being single, at

least for a while, can be really awesome. You can plan your time however you

want, go wherever you want and catch up with your friends.

It’s the perfect time to be a little selfish and finally do all the things you want to without getting a “second opinion”. You’re free to start a new journey to self-discovery and self-love. Sometimes being single is exactly what you need in order to learn how to enjoy your own company. And learning this is actually a bigger accomplishment than being in a relationship.
