Many times when I talk with people, (women especially) they ask me about my love life. I tell them quite frankly that I’m dating people, but no one seriously. Their reply is always, “Oh you’ll find someone, and he’ll be wonderful.” At this point in my life, that phrase is the last phrase I want to hear. Why don’t they just tell me, “Someday you’ll be good enough, but for now you’ll just have to survive.”?
I’m happy where I am. I know that eventually I would like to marry, but I know that I am a complete, intelligent and worthwhile person as I am- without a mate. I hate that it’s always implied that I need to find SOMEONE. I don’t. If I were to live my life to the best of my ability, accomplish long term goals I set, and be genuine in my dealings- and never meet my “someone wonderful”- I will have still lived a full life. I will have still lived a valuable existence, and my presence when it’s gone will still be missed.
