On Being Single
Feb 18, 2006

I would just like to state that there is a BIG difference between being alone and being lonely.
I may be single but I'm certainly not lonely. I have AMAZING friends, a job I like, co-workers that are a hoot to work with, all my animals and all the other things that keep me busy. I have a full life - I don't sit and wallow in self-pity because I'm not in a relationship at the moment. This is not to say, however, that I don't hope and dream of eventually finding my soulmate/friend/confidante/love of my life/someone to cuddle with! I certainly hope that he's out there somewhere! I just get upset when people assume that, poor thing, she's on her own! I'm a happy person and, quite frankly, some past relationships have certainly put a damper on me being a happy person! Better to be happy and single than to be miserable in a bad relationship. Been there, done that, don't need it again! So that's my rant for the day - thought I'd share it with all my fellow single comrades out there! Have a WONDERFUL day!!!

Think I might have said to you before, I envy you. Life's not always rosie with a husband and kids.....

Aw, Janice! It isn't always rosie being alone either! There are good and not-so-good things on both sides of the fence! You have a beautiful son and a daughter that drives you insane - never a dull moment! Imagine how dull your life would be otherwise!!! You know you love them!

When I'd break off with someone, I'd feel there were pieces of me, out there somewhere...hard to reclaim oneself. Eventually, when I'd feel whole, I appreciated my freedom all over again, and I came to realize it's the biggest part of me, which I'll never give away. I can be alone, without being lonely, and I can be lonely with someone, this I learned.

Exactly! I would much prefer to be single and happy, than spending my time in a mediocre relationship which is destined to head nowhere!
