I enjoy being single and I have no desire of a relationship. Yet as I turned 23 today, I get a lot of remarks from friends - "23 and not in a relationship, what's wrong with you?"

I believe that being single I can still make a contribution to the world and I don't need my "other half" to be complete.

I find it sad that people have the view that single people out there cannot be happy without someone.

I think that we can be happy regardless of our circumstances and we need to make the best of whatever opportunity comes or way - single or not.
