Being in your early 20s can be exhilarating and fun, but that doesn't stop the sting of loneliness from appearing. Many of us often find ourselves wondering when we'll find our "one true love," the person we'll spend the rest of our lives with. While being single can seem difficult and frustrating, it's actually so much easier to be single when you're in your early 20s than any other time in your life. Here are just a few reasons why.
1. You're meeting a ton of new people
This is the prime time in your life to be meeting new people. Whether you're in college, working a steady job, or frequently changing jobs, you're going to meet a large variety of people.
Being single makes this so much easier, as you don't have anyone to get jealous of you or for you to be jealous over. You can do your own thing and no one will tell you otherwise.
2. No connections
While it may be important to have people around you that you care about, a Romantic Relationship can be more hindering than familial or platonic relationships. It is easier to do the things that you want when you are single. Want to move to that new city? Take a trip to Europe? Well, you can!
3. You can focus on your goals
When you're single, you don't have anyone else to worry about but yourself. This leaves you all the time you need to get that degree or work for that new job. You don't have to make time for another person in your life if you don't want to, you can just focus on following your dreams.
4. More time with family and friends
Relationships can be very time-consuming. Many people forfeit time with their family and friends once they get into a romantic relationship. If you stay single, you don't have to worry about that at all. You can spend as much time as you want with your friends and family without anyone getting on your case about it.
Family And Friends are important to many people, and time with them shouldn't be sacrificed at this age. Especially when you might be making that big move to that new city.
5. More time for yourself
A very big concept among millennials is the concept of self-love and self-fulfillment. In your early 20s, you are an adult but you still don't have it all figured out.
Many will argue that you will never have it all figured out. However, if you spend more time learning about yourself, and what you like and want, maybe you'll be a bit closer to having your life figured out a bit better than you would if you had someone else shaping who you are. For your own sake, be single when you're young.
