. All that rhetoric about enjoying time with yourself is just that, rhetoric. Yes, I enjoy time with myself. Yes, I love myself. Yes, that's all cool. I'm still horny. I'm still lonely. I still crave the LONG TERM COMPANIONSHIP of a mate. I still crave children. I WANT to be pregnant, whether I like the whole experience or not, I want to have it. I'm no longer willing to act like I'm cool with being single; I'm not. Because what I realize is that all the things that I'm doing as a single woman I can do as a married woman. I'm not saying that I didn't need nor trust the process. I do and I did. However, that does not change my truth. I'm not runnin' up in the clubs every weekend trying to meet some man. I'm not basing everything I do on meeting some man. But trust that it is ALWAYS on my mind. No, my life has not stopped (supposedly, it just started last Wednesday ), I continue to do the things that fulfill me. But there is a void, and it can't be ignored.

Single sistas out there, I feel you.

I feel the exact same way. It doesn't help any when you've got family members that ask you why you aren't married or dating then say... "oh, are you gay?" and think that isht is funny! Because I'm not willing to settle for anything, there must be something wrong with me.
