Single

In class we had some interesting discussions. Dr. Hollist facilitated the conversation but the class really did maintain much of what was said. Being single and being with someone is a concern of everyone. It all comes down to love or falling in love with is probably one of the greatest and worst feelings in the world. It's great when you fall in but the hard part is when you fall out or are forced to fall out. I have been in love once and it was enough to make me want to stay single for 3 years. I am now in a relationship again but it is very scary. I keep thinking back to last time and wondering if I can even allow myself to fall in love again. That is one of the good things about being single that we didnt discuss in class, it's safe. People don't think about it that way because they are hung up on the bad emotions that are associated with being single like the loneliness and depression but those feelings are probably better than what you will feel if you get involved with someone and how much it will hurt. When your single there is not really anyone hurting you, no one has your heart and it's easier to stay detached.
