The Single Life

Moving On for the Better

Leomar Umpad — Wed, 08 May 2013 07:21:24 +0000

There are time in our life when we should learn to let loose and let go of the important things in our life. When we were kids we used to think the best things in our lives are the toys. Then we get a little older and realized that those trading cards and other collectibles were the most important thing in life. A little forward and we thought that our partners (boyfriends and girlfriends) are the most valued one. Then we get hurt, being lied upon and cheated. We get a broken heart. A heart that we thought that cannot be repaired of the damaged done to it. We then tend to hate and despise the persons and circumstances that lead to those broken hearts. What we would later realize is that broken hearts would mend. The rate of healing may differ from different people. Some heal in weeks, others needs years to cope up. Then we learn from all of those and took those as life’s way of telling us to get a better mate, or make a change on ourselves for the better. I really believe that everything will eventually fall down into their own places. We just need the strength, the patience, and the will to believe that everything always happen for better reasons.

“NBSB” No Boyfriend Since Birth

Eisha Ferre — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 12:49:12 +0000

I think everybody knows the term “NBSB” especially here in the Philippines it’s a very popular term, but for those who are unfamiliar with this it means “No boyfriend since birth”. I guess these ladies believe in finding the right one and giving their maiden head to the one they’ll marry. Such old- fashioned ideas, but I believe that they just want to find a man that will love them for who they are and not what’s in their pants. I commend the ladies, who believes knowing the person first and not their anatomy. For those who may contradict to this idea, you may agree or disagree but these ladies not only put God first but respects their parents and themselves. All Single ladies be happy with life and true love!

Keeping the Lines of Communication Open

Angela Brown — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:43:15 +0000

Communication is the key to getting anything done in life. So whether you are married or single you as an individual must learn you to talk with others. Since this is a part of life people would assume that most people would be good at this key point in life. However when more people take a look at the single people that are dating it is obvious that there is a lack of communication between the two people. Which is the main reason as to why there are more single people that are not in their desired relationship. If more people would take a course in speaking about how their heart feels in a situation there would be less unhappy people that are just dating someone to occupy their time. Since time is precious to everyone there should never be a couple that are dating just so that they can have something to do with their down time through out the day. As more people are finding themselves single for whatever reason these same people should be learning about new ways to communicate so that there will always be an understanding about what is going on in their relationship and no second guessing.

I Putting You First

Angela Brown — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 14:33:40 +0000

The death of a loved one can be difficult to fathom but the reality is that everyone will eventually have to go at some point in their life. It is for this reason that many people when they are single try to stay away from anyone that they assume may be dying. That is not to say that as a single person you do not have the love that it takes to be by someones sides upon their sick and ailing days especially as they grow shorter. But when single people make the effort to be supportive of someone that they know is dying the gloomy mood that they feel after leaving the person for the day still lingers over upon their arrival at home. That is because there is no one there to take their mind off of their loved one’s suffering. Which is the main reason that many people who are single tend to not be the person to comfort someone in their final stages because then they will become depressed and a state of depression is often difficult to get rid of for anyone. Especially when there is no one at home to lift your spirits after a long day.

II Putting You First

Angela Brown — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 14:33:13 +0000

Which is the reason why many single people will wait until they get the phone call about their loved one dying and then become depressed until after the funeral services. Since becoming depressed after hearing the news that a loved one is dead is normal behavior people are able to get over their sadness a lot faster. After all the lingering on of death and then having to bury the person can take a lot out of the people that are left behind which is why it only makes sense that at this time in a single persons life they will tend to begin a relationship. By doing this they will be distracted by the death and the sadness that they feel. Which will help to alleviate their feelings of depression and before they know it months will have gone by and they will be back to their usual self. Although this may sound selfish for someone to do this just because they are single other people need to respect that fact that they have to live their life the best way that they know how without too many interruptions that could cause their life to be put on hold by feeling sorry for someone else and then themselves.

Waiting on Marriage

Angela Brown — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 20:45:13 +0000

As more challenges come along in life many people are able to stand and face them head on. However there will always be some people who are not up to the challenge and would rather have someone else fight their battles for them. These are the same people who are desperately looking for someone to marry them so that in their opinion life can be easier. However finding that perfect mate often times takes longer than most people would suspect and in the anticipation of wanting to get married so that many stresses can be alleviated single people often find the wrong spouse. Because it is the wrong spouse that the single person chose to marry they will either remain in an unhappy marriage or become a person that has been divorced several times over. Either way the desperate single person will constantly find themselves unmarried and still unhappy about the fact that they have to handle the stresses of life. Not even realizing that by getting divorced they are adding more stress to their life that could have been avoided by simply waiting for the right one to come around and then they would be 100% happy with the situation.

Newly Single Adventures in “The Love of My Other Life”

Always A Bridesmaid — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 17:26:15 +0000

Unusual paranormal romance in Traci Slatton’s “The Love of MY Other Life”:

The Love of My (Other) Life, by Traci L. Slatton, is a cute sci-fi romance. Brian chases Tessa all around Manhattan, telling her she’s his wife in an alternate universe, and making really terrible physics jokes. When Tessa isn’t trying to get away from the crazy man, she’s snarking at Chelsea “art” galleries and the insane cost of NYC rent. Favorite scenes include alternate-Brian and our world-Brian arguing in unison about alternate dimensions, and Tessa and Brian wandering into an empty room at a gallery and ending up accidentally making performance-art p0rn.Plus, I think it takes serious chutzpah for a romance writer use ejaculate when referring to a loud and emotional exclamation. That’s what the word means, but… (My favorite word like this is the Victorian meaning of “promiscuous” meaning mixed or jumbled, so one can have a promiscuous bookshelf, or drop one’s shopping in a promiscuous heap.)

When we are living a helpful life it means you help other people and get enough from everybody.

Laugh in your tough time

selvin david — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 15:46:58 +0000

Laughter is the best medicine says the famous proverb.A proverb which I made fun of in the past.I made fun of it as I didn’t know that time how much I am going to need in my single life.Single life is the time which fills you with happiness as well as sadness.Sadness is the part and parcel of most of the people’s life.They accepts it as their destiny.But never I agree with such an attitude.Life is not about being sad.Life is all about celebrating each and every minute with heaven filled enthusiasm especially in this single life.
Nobody has to teach us how to live,nobody has to understand how we should have performed,we are the boss of our own life.We create our own destiny.We live,exist and coexist in the name of faith in the world.Life starts with a cry and it doesn’t demands you to continue the same.We in this beautiful life of singleness we choose how we can thrive.Even in the amidst of great turbulence start living a life of positiveness.Take a conscious effort to laugh at something everyday.Your life will change.You will find a beautiful strength in taking decisions in your life.You may think you are an utter failure.But it doesn’t mean it has to continue the same, you can change yourself.This life of yours may pass on as a mist but your words and actions and your courage live on forever.Be the courageous guy in life who faces problems and laugh at it.

Stop Being the Damsel in Distress

Elaine — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:03:29 +0000

I suppose one of the many problems of single people is the fact that they are single. They feel down because of this. This probably is the root of all problems. Most people would rather wait around for some prince or some beautiful girl to magically come into their lives and make them happy. They always want to be the victim. But the thing is you should stop playing the damsel in distress.

The problem with playing the victim is that you always want to be saved. You always want someone to come and magically solve all of your problems for you. But in reality, a relationship is not going to save you. It may make you happy but not all you problems will be solved by it. Only you can truly solve all of your problems. You should be your own solution. This is the best way for you to help yourself. Stop hating the fact that you are single. Do not be sad that you are single. It is not the end of the world if you are. Instead, celebrate your being single. Go and find out more things about yourself. Go and be the hero of your life.
