As fulfilling as a loving, healthy relationship can be, there are some pretty nice things about flying solo.  For those who are lamenting their singlehood, read on...

3 reasons why being single rocks:

• It's all about you.  Forget about having to accommodate to someone else.  When you're single, it's all about you.  Take advantage of this time and enjoy!

• Opportunity for Growth.  Singles have a chance to be introspective and get to know themselves on a deeper level.  Things to encourage personal development include journaling, painting, reading and quality time with friends.  Take a class you've always been interested in - or embark on a solo trip.
  

• Prepare for Your Next Relationship.  If you're single, you have a chance to think about what went well - and what didn't - in your last relationship.  When you're ready to go for it again - take your new knowledge with you and apply it!
