The longer I’m single, the easier it is to stay that way.

I was having this conversation with a friend today. One of my co-workers is getting married in July. Wedding planning is stressing her out and listening to it is stressing me out. All of my other co-workers are in relationships. Either seriously dating or married. Our photographer and I are the only ones in the newsroom who aren’t dating. And he and I are just good friends. And during this week of Love (blech) I’m getting lonely.

But the longer I’m alone, the easier it is to be alone. I have my routine, things I like to do, and I can do them when I want. Because I don’t have to consider someone else’s feelings or wants. I just do what I want. And most of the time, I like it that way. But there are times that I don’t. That I want to have to check with someone before making plans.

Sigh.

I know I’m not the only one. This time of year is dangerous, isn’t it?

Oh well, have a good day friends!
