00:00Can we normalize being single?
00:02You single? That don't make no sense.
00:04If I do end up alone with a bunch of cats, then okay.
00:15I am single. I don't have any kids. I'm very happy. I don't ever plan on dating again.
00:20I don't want your f***ing walnuts. I love being alone. I love my own company.
00:25Why can't you get it through your skull that women are happy being alone?
00:29I am single by choice because the dating pool is contaminated.
00:33It got a bunch of like nasty s*** in it.
00:36Whenever the pool people come and they clean out the dating pool, then maybe I'll try again.
00:41You single? That don't make no sense.
00:43Has it occurred to y'all that I'm single for a reason?
00:46See, I'm not gonna get in a relationship with a man until I'm fully over my last one.
00:50I'd be rotting for a man right now.
00:52When I say I'm single, they're like, nah, you single because don't nobody want you.
00:56Have you seen me? I mean, makeup or not, weave or not, I'm still a beautiful woman.
01:14I'm not single by choice. I'm single because I'm choosing not to settle.
01:20Which is a choice.
01:23Holy s***, I'm single by choice.
01:25I've been single for five years.
01:27I've really found myself.
01:29I've discovered like what I'm capable of, what I can handle on my own.
01:34Sometimes people choose to be single so that they can work on themselves and heal themselves
01:38rather than rushing into another relationship that's just gonna end up damaging them more.
01:43I've had a place in my life where I know that I'm not ready to date.
01:46Even if a good man did come along, I would probably mess it up
01:49because I'm still working on my triggers and healing myself.
01:52And if I do end up alone with a bunch of cats, then okay.
01:56Can we create a world where it's completely acceptable to be single by choice?
02:03To be single on purpose?
02:05To be single with a purpose?
02:07Can we normalize taking a break after a relationship
02:11so that we can heal the wounds that were created by our choices
02:14and the choices of others that hurt us?
02:16Stop thinking that everybody like feel like a relationship is the end all be all
02:21because it ain't.
02:22It's a whole lot more to life than relationships, marriages, and having newborns.
02:25It really is.
02:26And the quicker that y'all see that, the less y'all put people in this box
02:30because they choose to be single.
02:31What goes on in the mind of people who think women are lying
02:35when we say we want to be single and we're choosing to be single?
02:39It's absolutely a choice.
02:41Our value systems are different.
02:43Just because you value your proximity to another person doesn't mean I have to.
02:48I value my freedom, my space, and my peace.
02:51When I tell people that I'm looking for fun with a man, I don't know.
02:55They don't really care because I enjoy my own company.
02:57I have my own house.
02:58I'm really enjoying my time.
03:00They're just like, oh, you'll change your mind or you'll find someone.
03:03I can find people.
03:05I'm good.
03:06I'm fine.
03:08I just don't want someone in my space.
03:11I don't want someone bothering me.
03:13Is that not reasonable?
