There's No Road Coming Back This Way...

THIS is my letter to the world, That never wrote to me,— The simple news that Nature told, With tender majesty. Her message is committed To hands I cannot see; For love of her, sweet countrymen, Judge tenderly of me! Emily Dickinson

Ummm...No

So A has a new phrase she is using for me. She informed me the other day that it is her job to get me "married off". What? As much as I appreciate her concern, truth be told it really is none of her concern. Number one, who says I need to be married? Certainly not me. Yes, it would be nice to have someone to share the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, I by no means need someone to make me happy. Number two, who ever said it was her job? Once again, certainly not me. I believe that I can find a mate on my own. I'm not an imbecile. What makes her think she knows what I want or need? She hasn't found the one for her yet either. She is dating an "entourage" as I call them. I am currently seeing no one. We are two different people though. I understand that she means well and says it half jokingly. Still, it kinda stings everytime she does. I am no ones charity case. I can take care of myself. Thank you very much. When it's the right time and person then it will happen. In the meantime, I'm ok with being me. Besides which, I really need to take care of this job thing right now.

Recognizing that one can be happy without marriage takes clarity. And it takes a lot of strength to admit it publicly.

Well done.
