still single....

[ASUADPi]

To all those singles out there, how do you "deal" with what seems like all your friends and family getting married or having babies?

I ask because for me it's been really tough. Most of my friends are now married. Some have kids, some don't. My younger brother just celebrated 6 years of marriage and has a 1 year old son.

I hide my jealously really, really, really well but on the inside it is eating me apart.

I'm jealous of my friends and family members but anyone else who is younger than me and engaged or married or has a family while I don't have any of those.

When I was 28 I told myself "if I become 34-35 and I'm still not married I'll have a kid on my own because I want to be a mother and I shouldn't put that dream on hold". Yet, I'll be 35 in March and I won't be becoming a mother right now. Not that I don't want to, I just am not "settled" enough in life right now to bring a child into it.

I'm truly scared that I will never find "mr. right", never get married and never have children.

Does anyone else feel this way? How do you deal?
