i'm single, but honestly a relationship is the last thing i need right now. I give my single life a 6. It could be a 10 if I grew up a bit and started becoming an adult.
My assumption is that you'll grow up when you need to.

Let's face it: sometimes the really hard stuff is easier when you have an SO around. And I've had some really hard stuff lately.
Life and relationships can't easily be summed up with a digit or letter grade.
Do I love my wife, absolutely.
Does she make me mad sometimes and do I make her mad too, duh.
Doesn't that just mean the passion is still there? It's apathy that kills relationships. JMNSHO.
When you can't even be bothered to fight anymore, that's trouble...
In my experience, anyway...
Peace

Just gotta stay focused on school, and life, and healthy living for now. Self-actualization is the key word for me.
Metamotivation is a term coined by Abraham Maslow to describe the motivation of people who are self actualized and striving beyond the scope of their basic needs to reach their full potential. Maslow suggested that man is initially motivated by a series of basic needs[1], called the hierarchy of needs. Maslow states, “Self-actualizing people are gratified in all their basic needs (of belongingness, affection, respect, and self-esteem)”[2]. Once a person has successfully navigated the hierarchy of needs thus satisfying all their basic needs, Maslow proposed they then travel “a path called growth motivation”[3].
Maslow believed we must make a distinction between the motives of those who operate at or below the level of self-actualization (ones still striving for their basic needs, or ones who have met their basic needs but still live without purpose), and those who are self actualized who are also with significant purpose, as their motivations differ significantly[4]. Deficiency needs (D-needs) motivate people to satisfy physiological needs such as hunger, sex, love, whereas being needs (B-needs) propel a person beyond self-actualization and drive them to fulfill their inherent ultimate potential[5].
Self-realization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaHappiness and self-realization
The concept of self-realization states that it is the ultimate goal of a human being to attain permanent happiness and complete independence and freedom from all worldly bondage, and that true happiness is then the result of self-realization.
The concept defines true happiness as the manifested Self. It only seems like a result because it is not felt or known permanently before the ego is removed. As explained by Ramana Maharshi,"Happiness is inherent in man and is not due to external causes. One must realize himself in order to experience his unalloyed happiness. All spiritual scriptures are meant to make man retrace his steps to his original source." [8]
Awareness in self-realization
As taught by Ramana Maharshi, awareness plays a key role in achieving self realization; with awareness, self-realization should be extremely easy to achieve. [9]
I've been single for near a decade and love it. I would give the quiet life an 8+. I will admit I have a rare desire for companionship but when I remember all the pains that come along with a relationship I quickly get past that nonsense.
I'm in a kinda relationship, and for what it is it's a 10.
You and Ms Handy.
