A lot of regular folk will shame you for not being in a relationship or married. What exactly are the benefits? Companionship? You know what's the best feeling? Coming home to an empty house or apartment, no one to bother you and freedom to do whatever the fuck you want. I'd take freedom over companionship 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I can drop my bags and travel to Tijuana, Bangkok, or Amsterdam whenever I want. No problem. Random road trip? Oh yeah. Sit at home, jack off to porn at full volume? You can do that. No SO or wife to nag you otherwise.
