1. I just did it. And let go of trying to look "cool".

我只是一个人独处，并不去想怎么尽量看起来酷。

2. Make a list of your favorite things. And don't wait for anyone.

列出你最爱的事物，不要等任何人跟你一起去践行。

3. Schedule It. And don't cancel on yourself.

计划时间，不要取消与自己的约会。

For the past year, I've been single by choice. Not by circumstance. Not because no one will ask me out or I can't find anyone eligible. It's hard for some people to believe that I am choosing not to date, and I often get weird looks and confused grunts from my old aunt and college friends alike. Why would someone voluntarily choose to stay single? To spend time alone? Aren't I missing out on life by not going on Tinder dates? What if The One is out there but I don't catch him because I'm too busy staying single?

过去一年中，我选择保持单身。这不是因为环境因素，不是因为没人约我出去或是我不能找到合适人选。有些人很难相信我选择不去约会。大姨和大学同学们老是对我投以怪异的眼神和不解地咕哝。为什么会有人愿意保持单身?愿意独自一人消磨时光?没有继续在Tinder(网络交友平台)上相亲的我，难道不是错过了生活(的乐趣)吗?要是我命中注定的另一半就在Tinder上，但我因为忙着保持单身而错过了他，那怎么办?
