Why am I single? Damned if I know!!!
If I had a dollar for every time I got asked this question would I be rich! It wouldn’t bother me as much if it was a conscious choice that I’d made…but the question often echoes my own concerns. My mood swings between being obsessed with finding that special someone to not caring if I become an old maid.
I did come to realize that single or married I do need a life of my own which should consist of my own set of friends and activities that I like to do. Otherwise if I make finding thee one the whole of me, chances are high that I’ll smother the person with my neediness and possessiveness.
The town where I live is not very friendly and whenever I tell the natives that I don’t have many friends, they all nod and tell me there are no people worth knowing in this town. Ha. I have found a few select groups of people that I hang out with once a week or every other week. I can now say I have a social life….its wonderful to be able to say, “Let me check my calendar” instead of saying sure, whenever I’ll be there.
But to the issue on hand, if you were single and people kept asking you, “Why are you single?” What would your response be? ….and would you mind if I plagiarized your response?
