i thought that the holiday mood would get to me. i thought that i would be reduced to praying for a relationship around this time. the last time i was single and it was christmas was 8 years ago.
but im happy that it didnt. im not dwelling on single blessedness anymore. i remember previously, i would desperately ask my friends to set me up on dates. and id attend parties left and right, hoping to meet 'the one'.
i guess age has a lot to do with it. mellowing down has made me realize that these dates and parties are for the younger ones. so i put less pressure on myself. and i end up enjoying the party more, the conversation, the chatter!
i'd like to get to that point of being single and just loving it. besides, if i really have so much love in my heart, then i should be able to love the people around - parents, colleagues, friends, employees! so as long as i have all this love to give, i couldnt worry about being single...
maybe there should be more single person movies or shows which have nice, triumphant endings, endings not needing a love interest for fulfillment! i can't even think of one right now!

this is just what i needed to read.
i'm 22 years old and it feels like i'm rushing into things. there's so much more life has to offer me. I guess it's due to the social conditioning of our generation. We get what we want in an instant. that or it's my natural tendency to attribute externally.
thanks for this reflection. :)
or an ending that shows the past was your happy secret. :)
hi psychojb! it would really work best for you to take it easy and not rush into things! honey, you've got all the time in the world!
that's a twist, jasper! thanks!
Hay naku, I still have three words for you re. this post:
Tup. Per. Ware.

Happy-ending-movies-with-singles. hmmm... Does "My Best Friend's Wedding" count? Granted Julia Roberts sails off into the sunset (figuratively) with Rupert Everett. XD
LOL .... if you are 20s and single ... i say enjoy. if you are 40s and single and think you are ok ... Ostrich mentality. stop kidding yourself, you want a boyfriend, go go go .... (evil smile).
The best relationships come to you when you are not looking for it. The moment you enjoy being single, relationship will come along. When you hate being single, you will remain single. Life is a bitch.
Or may be it is just me being a bitch.
