Current situation Quote by Shevon
“What I often wonder is why society finds it so difficult to view the state of being single as a period where an individual is happy to be without a romantic partner, enjoying the fruits of singlehood and self-company, and yet is not abhorred, revolted or remotely chagrined by the idea of finding that special someone someday. And even if that special someone does not come along, it's still alright because love exists in way too many forms and percolates through to every individual somehow. It can be a conscious choice to remain single because a person is perfectly at peace with whatever his/her current situation is and does not find it compelling to be with someone else. It doesn't have to stem from any kind of commitment phobia or a deep-rooted hatred for the opposite sex. It doesn't even have to mean that a single person will not be willing to ever enter a relationship. It just might mean that being single is a whole lot of fun.”
