Freedom of Single Life vs Warmth of Relationship – My Honest Verdict

Tough one, I just got out of a relationship a month ago. After thinking deeply, I would choose to be in a meaningful relationship, as for me, my life feels more colorful when I share it with the right person.

Although being single gives you complete freedom, which I hadn't felt in over 2 years. I can travel anytime, spend money on myself without feeling guilty, and focus fully on me building myself and my career. I haven't enjoyed that phase in 2 years, but now I can explore new cities, pick up new hobbies, and build my confidence without my partners validations.

In my last relationship, I valued the connection of communication. We had many fights but also created beautiful memories, which seems to be difficult to forget during this breakup period. I would remember those late night calls, shared experiences, erand calls and trips, dates, and supporting each other during family problems. Even though my last relationship didn't work out the way I wanted it to, she brought out the best in me, and it still made me a better man.

On the other hand, my friends who were single at the time seemed to be genuinely happy. They would go on solo trips, focus on fitness, and enjoy their own company. It's something I respect and admire from afar. Now that I'm single, I have found peace in being single for now, it's an opportunity for me to evolve and become the man i was supposed to be.

In my opinion, both paths have their pros and cons, but it really depend on one's personality and stage of life. Some people thrive on independence while others grow through partnership, and I've come a long way through partnership. The most important lesson I've learned is to choose yourself and be happy and not to rush into societal pressure.

Right now, I choose independence and solo adventures because I believe choosing myself and giving myself the kind of self-love I richly deserve is worth more than any relationship has to offer right now. But as a man, still finding his footing in this world, I will only settle for a respectful and genuine connection kind of love if I ever love again.
