One, but not One


It's true what they say about misery loving company. I was not really miserable or losing sleep over it but it's always nice to know that you're not alone.

I think I am an attractive, intelligent, spunky, witty, interesting type of woman. I think I have a lot to offer. Yet, I am alone. And I try not to make it a definitive element but increasingly these days, when all I have is work to latch on to (quite unwillingly I must add), it dawns on me that the life plan just did not work out as I had hoped.

But it's not just me, thankfully. I have beautiful, smart, funny, totally stellar girlfriends who find themselves in the same position and you ask yourself, "what's up with the universe that we are in this position?" I am not sure what it is, but there is a sisterhood in knowing that, okay, I did not pull the short stick. There just happened to be a lot of short sticks. And you just make the best of what you've got.

I am so glad for the weekend though. I live for weekends which is sad cause 1. my weekends are pretty standard - catching up on sleep, and the occasional caloric Happy Hour and 2. this is my life - weekend lust!
But still, better than having nothing to live for. lol.

  3. Glad you are posting again Tamale - even single, life is pretty good in my opinion, but then again I have been on my own so long I don't know anything different.
