Breaking Free: Challenging Society’s Relationship Obsession
We live in a culture that treats being in a relationship like it’s the grand prize—something you earn after enough self-improvement, sacrifice, and staying small. But what if happiness isn’t only reserved for the partnered-up crowd? What if being single wasn’t something to “fix”… but something to flaunt?
It’s time to challenge society’s obsession with romantic relationships and start celebrating singlehood as a bold, empowered choice.
💥 Myth-Busting the Single Life
Myth: Singles are lonely and unfulfilled.
Reality: Many single people lead deeply satisfying, soul-rich lives. Their days are full of friendship, creativity, freedom, family, travel, growth, and so much more.
“I love being single. It's my choice, not a sentence. I'm loving my choice.” — Kristin Chenoweth
Kristin nailed it. Being single isn’t some tragic backstory—it’s a conscious decision. It means honoring your own rhythm, your own desires, and refusing to settle for a connection that cages your spirit.
🖤 Kristina’s Truth: I Don’t Do Cages
Here’s my truth—raw and real.
Every relationship I’ve ever been in made me feel trapped. Sure, it starts off hot, exciting, and magical. But after a while, I always ended up feeling like I was performing for someone else’s comfort. Like my joy had to be filtered through someone else's expectations.
For years, I tried to "do the right thing"—especially for my kids. I thought staying in a relationship made me a better mom, that being single with children meant I had somehow failed. But the truth? I hated it. Every minute of pretending. Every moment of being tied to something that didn’t feel like me.
Even when I was younger—just dating—I felt it. That itch. That inner knowing. I’ve never wanted to be locked into one love forever. I believe love is expansive. Love is meant to be shared, not caged. I change my mind about what I want for dinner daily, how am I supposed to know who I want forever?
Let’s be honest: I love friends-with-benefits. It’s real. It’s joyful. No fighting, no controlling, no roles to play. Just presence, fun, connection, and freedom. And I love my solitude. I don’t want to live with someone. I don’t want to track someone’s schedule or feel obligated to be “on” for anyone 24/7. I’m busy. My energy is sacred. And the thought of giving someone more than an hour of my attention? Honestly... it exhausts me.
I like being free to change my mind. To choose myself. To rest. To be.
🌿 Challenging Relationship Norms
This isn’t bitterness. This is truth. This is me rewriting the story that says a woman isn’t whole unless she’s partnered. That she’s “too much” if she doesn’t want monogamy, or "not enough" if she prefers space over closeness.
Being single isn’t a curse. It’s a power move.
And that’s why I create what I create. Every mug, every journal, every digital download in my shop is rooted in this truth. In my truth. I make art for the women who are done apologizing. Who know that freedom can be sacred. That choosing yourself isn't selfish—it's revolutionary.
💬 Did you know?
Studies show that single people are more likely to maintain close friendships and stay connected with their families compared to those in relationships. (No surprise there—we’ve got energy to give where it matters.)
