Zoning-out...
Imagining a list of countless "things-to-do"...
The thing about being single in such a partnership-manic society is the fact that no matter how you assure others of your [contentment/happiness/stability] with the [acceptance/choice/circumstance] that you have [faced/made/made to face]--singlehood, that is--no one f***ing believes it. Out there, someone's always trying to question your [choice/predicament], worse, set you up with anyone they deem perfect for you. Perfect for them, is more like it.
A fact that, all the while, makes you question your own beliefs and feelings regarding such things. When yesterday, you were happy enough just going through the motions all by yourself, enjoying the freedom that comes with not having to go by certain "relationship" rules, or not having to call in to "report" every so often; today brings the question of whether you, indeed, are fit to be tied (tied down, that is) or are just unlucky with regards to the big L word.
Is it such a big issue if one decides not to date (at least not for a few months after the end of a confused and troubled mishap of a relationship)? It's not like one is in search of that "one true thing", nor is it that that "one true thing" has been slipping through one's fingers time and time again. It's never been like that. Others just don't know (nor bother to find out) how it really is.
On another note: you + him... *shudders*. It's a troubling thought. Everytime I see or hear about things, it gives me chills--and not any good ones. It's a resounding EWWWW for me. I don't see why some are just so kilig about it. Puh-leeze.
