Being single is definetly empowering. I loved having all the freedom and doing what I want whenever I wanted. When you don't have anyone with standards to live up to you can just be yourself and live the way you want to.
On the down side though, the older you get the more you get set in your ways and the less ability to adopt to pressures of having a family. Granted, on the plus side you get the experience.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
