Single life

I've decided that I like the single life. It's a lot less drama and pain. I don't have to check in with someone before I decide to do anything. I can go out with whomever I want whenever I want. I'm very independent and I don't have a problem going out by myself. I don't need someone with me to enjoy myself. And when I do want company, I can call whoever is available to join me, male or female. I don't have to work around someone elses schedule and I don't need permission. Yes, I am somewhat of a romantic and like having a special someone to share my time with and just be around even if we are doing anything at all but I don't need it. If I don't give my all to anyone, then I won't be disappointed when I don't get the same in return. It's a freedom I haven't had in a long time. I've been in a relationship of some kind since I was 16 up until last December. I've been ok being single but I've just recently come to really accept and enjoy being single. The next guy that thinks he deserves me will have to show that he's worth it. He'll have to earn it because I know what I'm worth and I won't settle for less.
