Singularity...

So that's not what it's called, I know.

Am I finally settling into contentment of being single? I mean, there is that lingering loathing of being alone, but is my dread of never finding someone really starting to diminish?

Could I really go on for 80 years without someone to love?

Take it from someone who's not been single for eight years: having a few good friends is just as good as having a lover, and true friendship is a deeper love than any other. I think as long as you either enjoy your solitude at home or find a couple good people to live alongside, you could be happy that whole time. It's usually when your biological clock kicks in and you start wishing you had children or something that people really go hunt down a "love", but so many relationships end unhappily.

Likely, you're just realizing that you've got a lot of other things you could be doing with your life right now. You're only halfway through the "breeding season" of your life, y'know? You have to figure out yourself, through school and religion and such, before you can start figuring out someone else. Just roll with it and don't think about it, but don't try not to think about it either... everything in life has its reasons.

Therein lies the problem - I think way too damn much. @_@

It's when you're really content with being single that God takes you and says 'OK, you're not single anymore'. That was actually annoying, but I found that it was part of the growing He had planned out.

And knowing that you're never really alone, that tends to help out a lot with the process.
