it makes me feel confident knowing that the one very stable thing in my life is not a relationship but a lack of one. my future happiness depends on me and my own abilities. i don't have to be concerned about whether my lameo boyfriend would be upset if some nice guy invites me to a study group. i don't have to feel guilty if i have a good time hanging out with someone other than my possessive beau. i don't have to tiptoe around sensitive topics and edgy situations in order to avoid the same old arguments that always end in the same old nonconclusive way. and i don't have to worry about the impending breakup that will inevitably throw me into a complete funk for entirely too much longer than my studies can afford. i don't have to worry about anyone but myself, and i am my top priority.
despite my lack of love life, i have never felt more fortunately loved.
so if i run into you, don't look surprised that i am not terribly distraught over my single status. i'm never gonna make it with someone else, if i can't make it on my own first. i think you'd be a lot happier if you realized that too.
