Yes, I'm stealing this idea from a 1999 Sex & the City episode, but I feel it's very important for me to address my own little secrets on this VERY public forum.
SSBs are very important to singletons. They represent the freedom that comes with having your own money. Your own place. Your own routines. Your own...habits.
As a recently retired singleton, I can say with total clarity, that after being surrounded by happy couples in my 11th bridesmaid dress, while seated at an odd-numbered table, I have earned the right to enjoy the good stuff that comes with flying solo.
For example, Carrie Bradshaw liked to eat saltines with jelly on them while standing in her kitchen reading fashion magazines. An old friend of mine used to sit on the couch in her underwear while drinking tea and plucking her eyebrows. Another girl I know likes to do yoga in her pajamas while watching reruns of Nick at Nite in the background.
The SSBs do not define us, but god damn if they don't give us pleasure. To that end, my boyfriend & I have discussed the importance of each of us having our own space when we co-habitate. He gets it. I'm fairly confident he's got a few SSBs of his own.
Anyway, here's my favorite one: I like to come home after work, put on the same PJ pants I've had for 10 years (even if it's 5:30) and eat pita bread with hummus and cottage cheese on it while watching E! News. It feels good, I don't know why.
So there you have it. Nothing that's going to get me committed, but also not something my BF is particularly psyched about.
Which is why I'll have my own room.
SSBs 4-eva.
