The single life

I have been single for almost 4 years now for the first time in my adult life. Have I attempted to date much since then? No, not really. You would think I have some fatal disease that everyone is trying to cure me of when I tell them this. Then they usually reply with "You really need to put yourself out there" or "that's okay, you'll find someone soon enough." What? I didn't really give it too much thought until you just now mentioned it to me. I don't wake up planning my day around meeting someone, and I'm not really too sure it works that way anyhow. It's almost as if people feel sorry for me, and constantly want to reassure me that there is someone out there for me. I guess I never really noticed the stigma people put on being single until I became single.

 When I was married I often envied single people, and never spent my time feeling sorry for them. I definitely didn't feel a need to fix them up, or give them advice on how to meet someone. They had so much more freedom to do whatever they wanted. They made all of their own decisions. They got to come and go as they please. There was something so liberating about that to me. I already lived the married life, raised a family, and devoted my life to others. Now I get a chance to live a life I've never lived before, and focus on me. Well, at least until the grandchildren come. So don't feel sorry for me, be excited for me because whether I find someone or not, the best is yet to come.
