Why single isn’t a dirty word

Alex: Did you like being single? Are you someone who’s very comfortable being single?

Samira: Yeah I think I was the kind of person who was always in a relationship like I had a boyfriend like every week, well that sounds bad…

Alex: Every week, a different one?

Samira: …not every week, but like, a different boyfriend most months cause I never have downtime and be single and be on my own and like be happy for yourself I think it’s very easy to invest all your happiness into someone and then when they like, you know, something goes wrong in your relationship you feel like almost like death, you know, you’re like something’s missing a part from you. I was single for like a year and a half and I felt great to be fair.

Alex: I agree. I don’t feel like I need to like have to be in a relationship. I think it’s important to find happiness in yourself and your friends and then the right person will come along.

Samira: I mean it is sometimes a bit lonely but, you know?

Alex: Yeah I mean I was single for like four years…

Samira: My gosh.

Alex:…and that was fine for me like obviously I like dated people in the meantime but I didn’t find the right person.

Samira: The right one.

Alex: I didn’t feel a rush to do that to be honest, you know?
