I have had more than a handful of people make remarks in the last few months about how lucky I am to:
1. not have to share a closet
2. not have to share a bathroom
3. not have to check-in/consider anyone else when making plans
4. not have anyone else involved in my finances
as if this is the life I dreamed about when I was a little girl. While I'm trying hard to be grateful every day and to garner any contentment and satisfaction from the blessings I have, make no mistake, I do not choose to be alone in this world. I wish I did. Then, I wouldn't resent fairy tales, reality shows like the Bachelor(ette) and all the lovey-dovey folks I encounter regularly. I wouldn't feel looked over, rejected, incredibly disappointed and like the permanent odd in a world full of evens.

I love you.
And that's all I'm going to say about that.
Ditto Jennifer. :)
So true!
Likewise, I'm bothered by folks who say, Don't give in to the pressure to get married. I'm NOT giving into pressure, it's what I WANT. It's the DESIRE of my heart! It's not cultural pressure that makes me desire marriage. It's life, it's God. It's knowing what I'm missing!
Stopping by after I came across your comment in an old post on my blog. Thanks for stopping by!
