Single

 Single means you have the time to grow and be the person you want
 to be.
 Sometimes, it is harder to grow when  you are too close to someone.
 Trees are planted far apart so they can spread  their branches and 
 become strong as they mature.

 Single means learning  to live by yourself. However, that is no more
 dificult than learning to live  with somebody else. Single means
 freedom.
 Free to spend a week's vacation on the beach, to take computer
 courses, to work late on an  interesting project, to spend the 
 day in bed with a good book or simply with a person who has read one.
 
 Single means learning not to need a  man/woman to make your life
 meaningful but learning to live with a man/woman  because you
 want to be with him/her.

 Single means that sometimes you will  wonder why you will bite
 your lip and feel wistful and wonder if marriage is better. Ironically,
 yet quite happily, single is feeling good about being in control of
 your life. It is liking and respecting who you are and  why you are.
 Single is realizing that being married is not necessarily  better,
 it is merely different.

 Single means that there could be something wonderful around the
 corner and you can take advantage of it.  Single means you are free
 to love again.

 The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.
