An adventure as big as life itself. "big fish"
10 Habits of Happily Single Girls
Celebrate your Independence Day. This is the year you free your mind from the shackles of shamed singleness. Make the commitment to be not merely content by truly happy. Flaunt your freedom, and set off those fireworks!
Wear your heart on your sleeve (or your neck, finger, wrist...). A few words of empowerment, either your own or from people you admire, may be all you need to get you through those solo-time slumps when you're tempted to wallow in self-pity. Display it for all to see, and you could help some similarly solo girl get through her off-days too.
Carry pictures in your wallet of you at your craziest, happiest, most beautiful moments. Save the studio pictures of family albums and ID cards. Bring out the snaps of you in the school mascot's costume, you after a paintball game, you winning the track meet–mussed-up hair, dirty face, toothy grin and all! Share them with your friends, with pride!
Ease up on the single-chick lit. While there are some gems out there, most of them tell you that you're Ms. Nobody until you've snagged your Mr. Somebody. "And they lived happily ever after" isn't the only way for a good story to end.
Go boy-watching–but look more closely. Somewhere beneath the "potential boyfriend" exterior is a real person with many–sometimes strange yet fascinating–things to share. Stop putting boys into the boyfriend box, and you'll pick up a few meaningful relationships that will last past the honeymoon stage.
Be selfish. Someday, you may have to skip the season finale of Alias to celebrate an anniversary or read a bedtime story. Until then, park that gorgeous behind in the comfiest chair, and hog a bowl of hot, buttery popcorn—guilt-free!
Learn to love. What is love anyway? Imagine being in a relationship without first figuring out this all-important question... yikes! Look at couples you respect—your grandparents, your friends, your friends' parents (leave the romantic-comedy "role models" out, your love life won't be following a script)—and get your values and ideals straight.
Be open to change. Singleness can suck when you get stuck in a rut. But the beauty of being single is that you can change your life without causing a commotion. Be a punk one day, a princess the next. Your friends may think you're crazy, but hey, as long as they love the new you.
Date yourself. Don't underestimate your capacity to enjoy solitude. Take a vacation from the group, and venture out on your own once in a while. Go to your favorite coffee shop, and put your feet up on the extra seat.
Be inspired. Once upon a time, the only imaginable future for girls was in front of a stove and behind a man. Now, more and more women are leading happy, fulfilled lives and showing that down the aisle isn't the only way to reach the top.
