Selfish planning

Coupled up people don't know how easy they have it. 

They don't have to constantly plan their days, nights, weekends and holidays. When you're single a lot of thinking and plotting goes into planning your life to make it full. The simple part of my plans is that I only have me to consider, my safety, comfort and happiness. 

With coupled people, they have to consider the other party. They don't get to be as selfish as I do. But then they get the joy of sharing it with someone else. So it's a win-win for both parties. I enjoy the selfishness and spontaneity of my solo plans and they get the company and conversation of their partners. Not that I don't enjoy the company and conversation of strangers. The only problem with spontaneous conversation with strangers is that it is momentary, brought upon by spur of the moment events. It starts, sparks and fizzles. Sometimes stirred by alcohol. It does not last. I never see (or hear from) them again.  However, we continue our lives knowing that we had that one fantastic moment. 

And sometimes, that makes all the difference.
