Unlabeled yet happy

My status on WhatsApp for a short while ago was, "Labeled but miserable, unlabeled yet happy."

This goes to show how irrelevant and unimportant labels are. Ever since '10, I stopped caring about labels. When in '10? That moment when my then boyfriend canceled his relationship with me on Facebook, that was when. I know, it's lame. But yeah. I've been single since, and shall continue to be - regardless whether or not I'm involved with anyone - until the day my hand gets taken in marriage.

See, I stopped thinking if I have a boyfriend, or if I'm someone's girlfriend. I just don't use these terms anymore. It feels free and much cooler. So whenever people ask me where's my boyfriend, I can't seem to find the answer, because I refuse to let it into my system that I have one, hence my reaction to that question is almost none. And worse, when people ask when was the 'confirmation' date (I know, people still do this kind of stuff!), I'll frown.

How is this important? So that we can celebrate every month? Congratulating each other for reaching another milestone? I spent 7 years in a relationship, more than half of it was in misery. I don't think that deserved congratulations.

So what I'm trying to say is...there's no need for confirmation. There's no need for labels. There's no need for..all that typical relationship stuff. We have lots of other more important things to be thankful for, to congratulate each other for.

I'm unlabeled now, and I'm happy. =)

Alhamdulillah.
