I didn't even get a chance to say "no."

I tend to "hang on" to everything, and it often leaves me confused about my place in the world.


When I annoy a friend, I feel like a loser. When I say something I shouldn't, I spend far too much time obsessing over it. When I get sad, I convince myself it will never be better. When my days become monotonous, I long for something far greater and wonder what the hell it is. 

My lack of a partner is the area of my life where I find myself questioning more than in any other area. I wonder why I must journey alone. What makes me so different from nearly all of my other friends?

Being married is not my greatest desire--by any stretch of the imagination. I think I would probably fail miserably at being a wife. 

Why, though, don't I at least get to decide to be unmarried? Is it that obvious that being a wife is an impossible role for me?

I think you'd make a wonderful wife. Shoot, I lived with you for a year and could have done it forever. Plus your scones are delicious.

I don't think it's impossible and I don't think it's not going to happen. But, I do know that you are amazing with or without someone. You're a beast of a woman, don'tcha know?

You are amazing and I'm sure someone will come along :). Mean while, you're hilarious and we all enjoy your company. We love you!
