Everyone needs to discover themselves, but when you have a lover, you may never get the chance to do that because most of the time what you turn out to be is based on their suggestions, demands and influence. Being single, on the other hand, gives you a chance to know yourself more and determine on your own who or what you would like to be as you wait for the right time or person to come around. You can choose the type of chairs you want to have in your house, the clothes you will wear, whether you will be a vegetarian or not, and so on. Single people tend to have more character and personality.
