Alexander Kirk2016 was a rough year where no relationship was safe from its wrath. Whether it wreaked havoc on a specific relationship or your love life as a whole, we’re all here, we’re all queer, and we’re all single AF.
But don’t fret, because although you couldn’t see it last year, being single in 2017 is not as bad, lonely, and/or self-deprecating as it sounds. Here are 18 reasons why being single in 2017 is actually the best.
