20 Underrated Perks Of Being Single 2 1

Perks Of Being Single

โ€œSingleโ€ is often considered the worst of relationship statuses.

You were told that your soulmate is supposed to be your best friend but really, the best thing about being single is realizing how to be your own best friend โ€” loving yourself, being happy hanging out with yourself, learning about yourself. At the end of the day, the only person youโ€™re guaranteed to spend every. single. day of your life with is yourself.

Below, 20 Perks that are completely underrated about being single:

Underrated Perks Being Single

1. Thereโ€™s no such thing as โ€œherโ€ or โ€œhisโ€ sides of the bed. Migrate to the right, move it to the left, lay claim to the middle โ€” itโ€™s all yours, baby.

2. The Netflix account is all yours, too. (So zero judgment if you feel compelled to binge-watch โ€œBridezillas,โ€ seasons 1-10)

3. Toilet paper costs a lot less when youโ€™re buying for one.

4. Thereโ€™s zero mental energy wasted asking yourself, โ€œIs he the one?โ€ or โ€œDo I really love her?โ€ or โ€œHow will I know?โ€

5. You can leave a party whenever YOU want to.

6. You learn that thereโ€™s a huge difference between loneliness and being alone. You start to appreciate your own company, which hopefully lays the foundation for a pretty solid future relationship if you choose to have one.

7. Your framed Audrey Hepburn quote photo and sparkly fish collection can absolutely be the focal points of your room. (Picking your own room decor > merging items with your S.O. who doesnโ€™t want his room to look like Lisa Frank threw up in it.)

8. Go ahead: Regulate the temperature in your house or bedroom however you see fit. #blessed

9. Compromise is important and all but you have the freedom to figure out what you really want for yourself and go out and live it.

10. The unadulterated excitement of getting a text from someone cute you met during a night out.

11. The chances that someone will use your toothbrush by accident seriously decrease.

12. Instead of having a monthly ladiesโ€™ or guysโ€™ night, you can put the time and energy into the long-term friendships that have sustained you before, during, and after romantic relationships.

13. Also? You can be friends with other men or women without being worried your S.O. will get jealous or think something romantic is going on.

14. Your bathroom is always clean to your (high, high) standards. Or your low ones: Donโ€™t want to put the cap back on the toothpaste or put the toilet seat down? You do (dirty) you.

15. Three words: Glorious uninterrupted sleep. You arenโ€™t woken up by your partnerโ€™s alarm that goes off two hours earlier than yours.

16. When you open a bottle of wine, itโ€™s likely not gone in one night. Less people to drink it = two or three nights of wine (Itโ€™s all about saving money, people).

17. Not feeling pressured to get out of bed and be productive just because your S.O. is up and doing stuff is pure bliss. So what if you want to read for two hours in bed before making breakfast?

18. You can go weeks (months?) without a bikini wax and nobody cares. (Same goes for your massive beard, dudes.)

19. You donโ€™t have to worry about anyone taking your leftovers. Or all the hot water from the shower. Or your last can of cold beerโ€ฆ or anything you donโ€™t want to share, ever.

20. Youโ€™re more motivated to leave your apartment and do cool shit when you donโ€™t have the option of laying around with one person all the time. Being single makes you more adventurous!

5 Reasons Why You Should Practice Delusional Confidence

Society tells us to be humble, to wait our turn, to only claim what we can prove. But what if the secret to success isnโ€™t waiting for proofโ€”itโ€™s acting like you already have it?

Some of the most successful people in history werenโ€™t necessarily the smartest, the most talented, or the best prepared. They were the ones who refused to entertain doubt. They acted as if their success was inevitableโ€”until it was.

Delusional confidence is not about arrogance or ignorance; itโ€™s about choosing belief over fear, faith over hesitation. Itโ€™s about backing yourself so hard that the universe has no choice but to meet you halfway.

5 Powerful Mindset Shifts That Will Make Your Dream Life a Reality

Mindset shifts are the key to manifesting your dream life.

Every year, I set goals and made vision boards, convinced that this time, things would change. But by the end of the year, nothing had moved. It felt like I was stuck in the same place, no matter how hard I tried.

Eventually, I realized the problem wasnโ€™t my goalsโ€”it was my mindset. I had limiting beliefs running the show, quietly holding me back from everything I wanted. My thoughts were filled with self-doubt, and deep down, I didnโ€™t truly believe I could have the life I was dreaming of.

So, I made a change. I started paying attention to my thoughts and replacing negative ones with self-affirming beliefs. I stopped questioning if I was “good enough” or if my dreams were “too big.” Instead, I started acting as if
