You are significant with or without a significant other

So many times I feel like a social outcast because I'm single, so many times do I see people treat me as less than married people. 

How often at my job I see married couples get the nice motel rooms, and only have to share their room with their spouse, where single people get placed in the rustic dorm rooms and share their space with 10 other people. Crude comments from co-workers saying I have nothing to live for outside of my job- and expecting single employees to work way more than their married counterparts (thankfully, that is not my department) 

I really was encouraged by Shauna's blog post. It's true that 

I'm significant with or without a significant other. 

And I don't need to listen to my culture telling me otherwise.
