When Beyonce wrote her iconic song single ladies, an anthem to singlehood, she herself was married to Jay Z.
At the time of writing more than a decade later, she still is. I’m tempted to wonder what Jay feels every time she belts out the anthem to not being with anyone she created while five years into marriage with him. He gets it, I’m sure. It’s showbiz.
And that’s how I make myself feel better about singlehood all the time. I just tell myself “that’s showbiz, baby,” and then I read these funny tweets.
10. What are you, chicken?
When we make eye contact as I am doing the same from my vehicle, we’ll both know.
One day, some guy is gonna see me eating a whole rotisserie chicken with my bare hands in my parked car and think "That's her, she's the one".

9. Buying in bulk
Sounds good, how much do I need to invest?

8. Changing expectations
One day my prince will come. Here, specifically.
Single at 23: “I have to go out and meet someone!”
Single at 29: “If it’s meant to be the right person will find me in my home.”

7. Playing the odds
So it’s a high probability day then?
I choose my underwear for the day based on how likely I am to have sex.

6. Very considerate
The algorithms are getting to know us and it’s terrifying.
NETLFIX: Are you still watching?
ME: No
NETFLIX: Do you want it on in the background anyway to fill the deafening silence of your loneliness?
ME: …yeh

4. The conundrum
Yes, and I don’t appreciate having to look at this with my eyes.

3. The upside down
You go right, we’ll take what’s left.

If you’re single, I feel ya. I mean I don’t, because we’re both alone in different places. Ok, I made myself sad again.
