The Ways
We Love
Choosing to Have a Mate or Being Single
The way we choose to love can
be as unique as the way we choose to make a living, maintain our health, or
entertain ourselves. Some choose to seek out a mate and enter into a partnership
with a special individual, while others find immense satisfaction in staying
single. There is no right or wrong way to be in your life when it comes to
deciding whether or not to be in a relationship, even though society tends to
put an emphasis on romantic partnerships. Whether you choose to go through life
as part of a romantic relationship or live as a single unit, there are benefits
to both. Feel free to be comfortable with whatever choice is right for you.
Choosing to be single is a wonderful way to spend time discovering
yourself. You have more time and space to figure out what and how you want your
life to be without having to keep someone else’s choices in mind. Being single
gives you the freedom to do what you want at a moment’s notice and the pride
that comes with facing life on your own terms. Companionship, support, and
affection can be found while spending quality time with friends, colleagues, and
relatives. There is also the fun that comes with being able to date many
different people without having to make a commitment. Choosing to have a mate,
on the other hand, brings with it an opportunity to share your life with another
person. There is comfort in the knowledge that you are facing the world with
someone as a united front. When life is challenging, you are in a position to
strengthen, as well as give each other comfort. There is also the inevitable
transformation of self that comes from allowing another person t! o so
intimately be a part of your life.
Remember that what is right for one
person may not be right for another, and people can transition between wanting
to be with another person and wanting to be alone many times over the course of
their lives. Whether you seek out a mate or live the single life, embracing it
fully will ensure that either choice is as fulfilling as possible for you.
