There are many benefits of being single. You have all the time in the world to focus on yourself and learn what sets your soul on fire. But not many people understand this, unfortunately.

More Time For Personal Growth
"Being single makes room for a person to learn more about themselves," Spinelli explained."There is more clarity around who you are and leaning into enjoying your own company." People in serious relationships don't have as much time to focus on themselves as single folks.
You Can Do Whatever You Want
