Fruitful time with insane friends who, despite knowing that they are going to hit the big 3-0, will never grow up. the childish humor. attempted jokes falling flat. annoying me whenever they can..

but beyond all that, everyone's just growing up. the couples are getting married. the married ones are having kids. people are moving on to the next stage in life.

which usually result in friends attempting to matchmake me whenever they meet me. can't tell if they are joking or not but and it does annoy me. why do people think that i need a man? why do people feel that one needs to be in a bgr?

yes, being in a bgr has its good points. but i can think of so many bad points as well. it's a nice-to-have, not a must-have. yet people get their knickers in a bunch about my status. if i don't care about it, why should others? i am content with my own space. and who's to say i need a partner to move to the next stage in life?

relationship statuses should simply tell people whether you're attached or not. they don't define you. the worse thing you can ever do is to enter into a relationship when you feel lonely. a partner is not someone you use to fill a void in your life. that belittles a person. it treats the person as a means to an end. a partner is simply someone you spend the rest of your life with. i do usually wonder if a person is in the relationship because they are in love with their partner or because they are in love with the idea of being in a relationship. in love with the idea of having someone there. in love with the idea of being wanted and wanting someone. in love with the idea of being in love, never realizing that as long as they feel that way, they'll never truly understand love as it is.

this is my next stage in life. to let people know i have no voids in my life that need to be filled out by a guy. to live just as life is. my trip into this world and probably out of this world is one without a man. who's to say that this entire journey can't be without a man too?

i have my family. i have my friends. i have God. i have all the company to get by life very well, thank you very much. :)
