19 Things You Should Want More Than A Significant Other
I’m not saying you shouldn’t play house (and split rent) with a nice lady friend or gentleman caller and I don’t mean to imply that happiness and commitment are mutually exclusive — I’m simply saying there are other things considerably more appealing to the selfish 20-something’s sensibilities. One day, we’ll settle down, sign up for the many (tax) benefits of monogamous bliss, and ditch the solitary and often futile pursuit of happiness. Today is probably not that day.
In the meantime, here are a few things you should want more than a significant other:
[selected points]
3. A passport filled with stamps from exotic locations and memories of months spent traveling and discovering the world alone.
5. A fulfilling job with a stable income and a bank account balance that doesn’t make you weak in the knees.
7. Accountability to self and only self. (Answering for your actions and caring for someone else’s heart is hard. Save that shit for your 30s.)
12. A rent controlled apartment in the neighborhood of your choice and a quirky group of girlfriends who will always meet you for a cocktail regardless of their busy schedules.
13. A job that challenges you, but also provides moments of self-fulfillment and a few laughs along the way.
14. Unbreakable confidence and steadfast self-worth.
19. A solid kick in the ass that will remind you that one day, most of these things won’t matter because all you’ll want is the love of your life and a body in your bed.
