Singleness - it’s a meme, it’s a comedy punchline, it’s a movie pitch (that usually ends with said single person finding love and living happily ever after. Thanks Disney.) 

But what is day-to-day life as singles really like? We’ve all been there. Sometimes it’s fulfilling, sometimes it’s deeply lonely. In the church, it can feel like you’re the only one who missed the train everyone else caught right after college. 

Meanwhile, there’s online dating to navigate, weddings to attend alone and uncomfortable holiday conversations with that aunt who always asks why you’re not settled down yet. 

Some of us love flying solo, some of us hate it. But not very many of us talk about it. Let’s change that.
