So, I’m doing my usual packet pickup day breakfast thing, and there are two women at the table to my right, bemoaning the relationship status (or lack thereof) of one of their daughters. (They were loud. Couldn’t miss it if I’d tried.)
Basically it came down to this: Daughter is selfish because she likes her life the way it is and enjoys being single. Mom cannot fathom how one can enjoy being single. Cue my beating my head into the table at this point.
Now for sure, I am not in the “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” camp, but jeez, there is nothing wrong with not being in a relationship, or not even being interested in having one for that matter. Hell, look at me - no actual serious relationships, not really looking for any actual serious relationships, and yet, a happy fulfilled life! I’m certainly not anti-relationship by any means, but it’s not necessary. I’ve got enough going on right now to keep me very busy as it is, and then trying to work that around someone else? The gentlemen I’d be willing to do that for are few & far between, and the results to date have been disastrous anyway.
In more important news, I have my jungle boots for the mud run and plenty of time to get them broken in:
