When were single, we feel like were the only ones.
We have married friends.
Friends with newborn babies and owned homes and diamond rings on their finger.

We watch their love stories unfold across stories and snaps.
The comparisons are whats killing us.
Most of the time, we are perfectly happy about spending the weekends alone.
We are perfectly happy about snuggling under the covers with our laptops and binge-watching shows.
We are perfectly happy having a bed and bathroom to ourselves.
We are perfectly happy calling ourselves single.
We wonder why they have found their love first.
We wonder whether we should have found our love too.
Of course, we only see their most exciting moments.
We dont see their average days when they are grocery shopping or lounging around on the couch.
Most of the things we see them doing on their Instagram stories can be done with our closest friends.
Signing up for paint nights.
We arent actually missing out on as much as we think.
There are plenty of other singles around and they arent all miserable.
Some of them realize romance isnt everything.
Some of them realize they are better off alone than in a bad relationship.
Some of them are happy to call themselves single.
