Cost of Being Single

Ever wondered what the life of alpha would be without it’s beta or the life of X would be without Y or the life of a King would be without his Queen. Calling out these names out loud without the subsequent other sound incomplete. It is not the name we would like to like to hear. 🙉

The same way i thought my life would be incomplete without my life partner.👫 Until one day he decided to get up and leave🏃. I was sad and lonely. I felt like a scoop of vanilla ice-cream 🍨without the added chocolate syrup or the sprinkles. I thought my life would become like the plain old ice cream, sad and depressing. I would try to read a book just to get lost in thoughts, but i already had so many thoughts🗨️ in my head that i could not even start with the book. I was binge watching all the V-day movies and all the Christmas movies where everyone and everything would end with happily ever after. I was hopeful that the same would happen to me.

The only thing i was certain about at that time was that i was alone. I did not know what to do about it. After spending months trying to feel sorry for myself and eating unnecessary tubs of ice cream🍧🍧🍧, i realized that i have not done anything productive and i have just gained one thing – those extra 8 pounds of weight and i did not need that at all✖️. What i needed was some closure. Not with the man that left me but with myself. I needed to know why i decided to waste my time crying and eating rather than working and working out🏋️.

In this process of self realization, i came across the fact that maybe vanilla ice cream in itself is not so bad after all. It can make any brownie taste better. And sometimes all you need is a little bit of vanilla to endure the pain of that old aching tooth. Sometimes Vanilla Ice cream is All You Need. Sometimes the cost of being single is way better than the cost of being in a relationship.💃
