Casablanca – Valentine’s Day is over. The flowers have been delivered, the Instagram captions have been posted, and the candlelight dinners are blown out.
The day that follows is dedicated to singles: Singles Awareness Day.
But let’s be honest, it shouldn’t be limited to one date on the calendar. Every day can be about celebrating singlehood.
On this occasion, let’s start with one undeniable advantage of being single.
You sleep on your own schedule
Is there anything better than sleep? Of course not. When you’re single, your sleep schedule belongs entirely to you.
There is no staying up to continue a discussion that could have waited until morning. No adjusting your night routine to match someone else’s habits. No early wake-up calls because someone else has plans.
You sleep and wake up when you want to. You can nap for three hours on a Sunday just because you can. Your bed, your rules.
No unnecessary drama
Being single comes with one very underrated perk: peace.
No decoding dry replies, no overanalyzing “okay,” and no stressing over why someone took three hours to reply.
Silence means silence. It’s the luxury of not falling into endless arguments over problems that wouldn’t even exist if you were alone.
For the couples reading this, feeling a little envy yet?
Your time is fully yours
Being single means absolute freedom. No “where are you?” texts and no last-minute calendar compromises.
Want to cancel plans at the last minute? Done. Want to binge-watch a series until 3 a.m. while eating cereal straight from the box? Absolutely.
Your schedule, your choices. No explanation needed
Unlimited crush potential
Think about it: you can daydream about anyone you want. That barista, that stranger at the bookstore, or your favorite fictional character, all guilt free.
All of this isn’t to say that love and relationships aren’t amazing. They absolutely are, especially with the right person.
Think of this as a little reminder to enjoy every phase of life. Singlehood has its perks, and there’s no reason not to embrace it fully.
Until the right person comes along, relish your freedom, your choices, and your peace. And when the time comes, you’ll enjoy being in a relationship knowing you’ve truly enjoyed being single first.
