we are all single. It would be interesting for everyone to spend a weekend together in a lodge. To see who paired up. In real life! We share so much here. If I were a millionaire I would buy everyone plane tickets and we would all meet. : : LOOK, PERCEIVER, : : READ THIS:
: : ***NO ONE WANTS TO MARRY ME EITHER!*** : : ALRIGHT?? : : GOT THAT?? : : NO ONE WANTS TO MARRY ME EITHER DANGIT! : : NO ONE!! : : OKAY?!! GOT THAT?!! : : Feel better now? Knowing that you're not alone in the world? : : That there are others who feel just exactly as rejected as you? : : Look. We're both stuck. 30 and 31 and not married, no kids. : : Okay, so big deal? So we deal with it, you know? We're both grown-ups about this whole thing, right? (Right.) We can handle this - it's not like we haven't been able to handle anything else - right? (Right.) : : So - let's just 'chill out', calm down, and take it easy on ourselves. : : There are lots of people out there in unhappy marriages with kids they don't even want. : : Think about it this way - had we had all rushed right into it - we could have been one of them. : : But we're not. We both waited to find someone who is interested in aproaching building a family together slowly, but surely, steadily, and for the long term, not short term. : : When you think about it - we did not do such a bad thing after all.Okay? : : And we'll both get there someday. Someday we'll find someone interested in us - someone who's interested in us enough to hold out for the long term - which is what we have both been waiting for anyway. : : Meantime, we just need to be strong, that's all. And what I mean by strong is strong enough to love others and not get all caught up in our selfishness, that's all. : : Take care, : : Things will get better, : : They always do, : : Margaret
