I am not suggesting that people shouldn't be in relationships. Love is an amazing thing and the perks of having someone to spend the night with aren't half bad either. However, having some time to yourself to figure out your life and to be beautiful on your own can really be a blessing.
And to prove that you can have fun all by yourself and that people have been able to for centuries, I would like to share with you a silly poem by a Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty named Li Po.
"Drinking Alone in the Moonlight"
Li Po
(701-762 C.E.)
Beneath the blossoms with a pot of wine,
No friends at hand, so I poured alone;
I raised my cup to invite the moon,
Turned to my shadow, and we became three.
Now the moon had never learned about drinking,
And my shadow had merely followed my form,
But I quickly made friends with the moon and my shadow;
To find pleasure in life, make the most of the spring.
Whenever I sang, the moon swayed with me;
Whenever I danced, my shadow went wild.
Drinking, we shared our enjoyment together;
Drunk, then each went off on his own.
But forever agreed on dispassionate revels,
We promised to meet in the far Milky Way.
Well I feel even better about being single now. If Li Po could have that much fun with no friends in the eighth century. I think I will be fine for awhile without someone special in my life - less drama and more dancing with my shadow in the moonlight.
I hope all of my single readers are enjoying themselves and I hope that all my readers in a relationship are living drama free and happy lives as well.
Goodnight and Namaste,
Luna
P.S. - I do not encourage frequently drinking alone, especially outside at night... but a girl has got to have fun by herself every once and awhile. ;)
