Happy National Singles Day! Today takes places on the Saturday of Singles Week in September. The day recognizes nearly half of the United State population who, whether by choice or circumstance, remain unattached.
However, the single population continues to be an integral part of growing businesses, organizations, and communities.
Singles contribute to their families and communities in a variety of ways. It may be surprising that singles are more likely to help out with a sick family member.
Some of the statistics may be surprising, but they shouldn’t be. For example, more singles help out with ailing parents than their married siblings.
However, it’s not always for the reasons one might think – their married couples have small children, for example, doesn’t explain why.
Today not only celebrates the accomplishments of singles, but aims to break down myths surrounding the single lifestyle as well. Most singles don’t go through life depressed and directionless.
On the contrary, their social lives can be quite active and full of purpose. They actively contribute to their communities as well as pursue long-range goals.
While some may prefer solitude, others seek interests outside of their work-life while also staying connected to friends and family.
Not everyone is part of a power couple. Today celebrates their unique qualities and opportunities to network with ingenuity and independence.
HOW TO OBSERVE
As a growing part of our society, celebrate the single people in your life.
