Being single is so underrated. Everybody wants to be someone’s boo/bae so they can maximize all the weather for two the year brings. But let me tell you for free, staying single is life! Here are 10 reasons why being single actually makes your life easier.

1. You sleep peacefully knowing that nobody is cheating on you.

You can’t cheat on the booless. It’s simple logic fam.

2. You don’t have to explain why you didn’t pick your calls.

Probably because no one is even calling you in the first place but you get the drift.

3. Who is she/he?

Not your portion fam.

3. We need to talk.

People in relationships know how much of a Pandora’s box that tiny phrase is, But guess what? It’s not your problem either.

4. Nobody is serving you passive-aggressive vibes for an offense you may or may not have committed.
