Cool man! There are certainly things to be treasured in both single life and in a relationship with a person. I'm glad you're doing so well after the turn of events you're dealing with.
P.S. Now that you're single, I'll be right over with my bass guitar for a jam session.

Its becomes a little tough around the holidays.
Christmas lights always seem a little brighter with someone by your side.
Its only tough being single...when you're awake.....and sleeping......on months that end with a vowel......and the months that don't......when you're eating.....when you're outside......when your inside.....and so on.
Other than that, its awesome being single.

The illusion of loneliness and the illusion of companionship.
Does anyone really know me or do I really know anyone else? I know my children very deeply but boy they will diss me if I get too close. My mother is very lonely, but if I gave her all my time, she would still be lonely.
We are always alone, and we are always with people. It is just whether at this point you feel rejected, or are happy because someone has reached out to in a way that matters to you.
You know this issue is complex because so many desire the "one", yet as soon as they find them, they often become the ex-"one".
Look at God. 12 deciples and after 3 years they still walk away, cannot even stay awake with him on his last night.
What we think of being close to people, being at one with someone is very different to how we normally act or think it is right.
I have been terribly lonely in the middle of a church full of people I know and also fantastically blessed working alone without anyone to talk to. We are not quite what we think we are, and how we react is too often not related to anything sensible but our own internal issues.
So I say, Amen Sirk, may the Lord bless you as you are and walk in His ways.

I'm enjoying being single as well...
I'm understanding more what the passage from 1 Cor. 7 meant when it talked about someone who is married having their interests divided. Though I wasn't married (Just engaged) I do see how my interests were divided and I'm enjoying being separate from a person in a way that it consumes all my energy and even to a point I could say distracted me from God.
Then again, my previous relationship turned very worldly, and wasn't glorifying God. I do know that marriage is beautiful, relationships are beautiful, when the people are carrying it out in a way that is pleasing to God. Anyways, basically I've finally reached the point though that I am content while waiting...I'm content on the way to where I am going. I don't need a person to be satisfied in life, and I trust God to bring the right man at the right time according to His will into my life.

Being single does have its advantages, it allows you time to do a self inventory, you can learn more about yourself and what you have to offer and what qualities you are looking for in a relationship. Being single gives you time to grow in your faith and serve. I'm content being single too and fulfilled with the ministry I'm involved with. Life is good
