Shit - I think I realised why I am still single!

Look at me working so hard - couldn't do this all day if I weren't single...

Friends please forgive my absence. I am going through some big changes which I shall reveal in due time - but mostly I just work too fucking hard so I haven't managed to write. Forgiveness?

But after this week-long sabbatical I came back to facebook and fuck -me if my sluttiest friend isn't in a relationship! Yes it has finally happened.
I work too hard to contribute to a meaningful relationship, I know this, but it still sucks when I get a plus-one to an event and I have to go alone. People don't like it ether - it's as if there is something wrong with you if you are single.

I had to go to the travel doctor for a yellow fever shot earlier this week. As usual I screamed and complained and the doctor just said: "You should have brought your boyfriend."
I replied that I don't have one. His reply was to jump back and exclaim: "SHAME MAN!" What a reaction. Then I had to do the old: "No really it's not a shame, I am perfectly all right" etc.Then he acts all terrified because I am going travelling on my own. Really! What has happened in people's minds that makes it unacceptable for a young woman to be single?
Would it be better for me to be in a relationship purely because I don't want to be alone? I can go to events alone and not have to worry about my partners well-being or if they are bored and if they are happy. 

As sad as this might sound to some, we are born alone and we will die alone. I believe that we should get comfortable with ourselves before we introduce another party to the equation. Being alone doesn't mean being lonely either. 


If you are the future Mr Sweet you will have to be a very strong character, with a hobby so that I won't have to entertain you all the time. You will have to be happy and kind and secure in the fact that we are two separate people whose lives co-exist. I don't believe  that people complete each other because you must be a whole person before you get into a relationship.

Whilst waiting for the future Mr Sweet, I take comfort in the fact that I have lived my life in my own way. And I will wait for the first wave of divorcees because I think I will be single for a while...

Look how pensive and single I am! One cannot think if there are boys around!
