.<\/strong><\/p>1. The entire bed is now your \u201cside\u201d of the bed<\/h2>
Cuddling is cute and all, but have you ever had a full night\u2019s sleep in your own bed without someone else yanking the covers off you mid-snore? It\u2019s divine. You can roll from one end of your bed to the next without kneeing someone in their naughty bits.<\/p>
All jokes aside, think of your bed as a symbol for your single life. You can now take up as much space as you like in your own life. As a single person, you don\u2019t have to shrink your dreams or your personality down to fit into a relationship. Enjoy the whole bed, love.<\/p>
2. Now you can truly do you<\/h2>
One underrated aspect of being single is the time it gives you to explore yourself sexually. You probably play nice with others, too, but being a free agent allows you to test what you like without the pressure of performance. This is your opportunity to try out those toys you\u2019ve been eyeing or do that thing you\u2019ve been curious about trying. Solo sexual freedom isn\u2019t just about taking notes on what you like just so you can present them to your lover (although that\u2019s one perk). In getting reacquainted with your sexuality for the sake of your own pleasure, you can make all kinds of sex (solo or partnered) more enjoyable.<\/p>
3. You can be selfish without guilt again<\/h2>
Let\u2019s be real: we all make adjustments in our daily habits when we\u2019re seeing someone. It\u2019s just a fact of being in a relationship. Small concessions like waiting to stream your favorite show until bae can watch it with you are harmless and usually don\u2019t cause resentment. Until you break up, that is. Now that you are single, it\u2019s your time to do what you want when you want and as often as you want. You can eat at all the places you loved that your ex hated. You can take that trip they were dragging their feet about. You can watch your favorite show without waiting on someone else to be ready. Redecorate your room, your place, or your life exactly the way you always dreamed.<\/p>
4. That relationship review is everything<\/h2>
Your single era can be a time to glance backward while looking forward to everything good coming your way. Take your former relationship as a lesson learned. What went wrong or right? What kind of partner do you want in the future, and what kind of partner do you want to be? Or, if romantic love has left a sour taste in your mouth, reimagine what life could be like with platonic love at the center of it.<\/p>
5. Single is the era of self-care\u2026and community<\/h2>
The single era is all about growing a better you, babe, so dive into self-care. Pampering yourself is nice, but you can take it a step further with the kind of care that daily life and relationship drama don\u2019t always make room for. How are you sleeping or eating? How is your mental health? Check in and listen to your body to know when you need rest, when you need to heal, and when you need connection with others. Self-care is important because it allows you to show up both for yourself and for your community. And when that\u2019s true, your best era is yet to come.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
