In or Out

I get very annoyed at today's society and the idea that everyone is supposed to be in this perfect happy love-movie like relationship. Here is my opinion on the particular topic: if being single makes you happy - be single! If being in a relationship makes you happy - be in a relationship!

Its pretty simple, yet for some reason the society we live in makes it so complicated. I hate the pressure that comes with the idea of relationships. Ideally, they should be easy, right?

If you ask me, you should date someone because you want to, not for any other reason. Date someone who makes you happy, that you look forward to seeing whenever you get the opportunity to, someone you want to share your successes with and who makes you laugh. Anything less than that should not be something you spend your time in if you aren't happy.

Then, on the other side I feel as if some people who are in relationships almost look down on those who are not just because they live different lifestyes. Here are two different articles I found on reasons why it is okay to be in a relationship, or out of one:

http://listdose.co/top-10-advantages-of-being-in-a-relationship/

Reading these articles could possibly change your outlook on the idea of dating versus not dating. I am a firm believer that everyone will find that person for them eventually, but that does not mean we all get lucky and find them right away.

Dating is a part of living and learning, and the world would be a much better place if we all understood that others might not necessarily be in the same place that we are, and that is okay.

Do what you want and be with who you want despite what society might say. Make yourself happy because that is what life is all about.
