Growing up, I always told myself that I would be married by 25, well am more than 2 years late on that and am still not with anyone. Well I have a boyfriend back home but I don’t see it working out, on my part, because I don’t feel alive with him. He is an awesome guy who would make a good husband and father but we are not friends. I feel like there is that umph missing. I don’t want to just exist but rather look forward to living each day.
When my time comes, I want to look back at the 90 years (I want to die after 90) and smile because I spent it with my best friend (love of my life), we have made beautiful memories together, wonderful citizens of the world and that I have been an exceptional daughter, sister and friend to those that mean the most to me.
Social media doesn’t do much to hide the fact that I might be the last man standing in my pack. I see engagements, weddings, births, anniversaries etc on my feed. As strange it might sound, these events do warm my heart and I pray that when my time comes, I will be over the moon.
Recently a friend of mine said that she was leaving her boyfriend of 6years and I was dismayed because they seemed to be a perfect couple. Like what would have possibly gone wrong for them to part ways. She said to me that after a while she felt lonely even with him so she decided to be alone than lonely with someone besides her.
Usually they say that all works out in good time but when is the good time when my biological clock has a mind of its own? And all the marriageable men seem to be marrying every weekend. Where is mine?
They also say sow a good seed and you will reap a good harvest. I believe I have sown so many good seed, some have borne fruit but this particular one seems to have forgotten to germinate. Am I perhaps looking in the wrong place or am stationed in the wrong locations?
They also say that God’s timing is perfect, I believe so but sometimes the human in me is impatient to get on with meeting the love of my life so that we can start to live. I feel that because we don’t have forever, better to start now than much later.
Loneliness is not for me and am starting to get impatient and it’s worrying me.
