I can talk to myself aloud and it wonāt seem weird to anyone. If someone else is around when you talk to yourself, youāre a nutcase, but if no one hears you, itās fine.

I read this article a while ago that really clarified my feelings on this. Studies show that people who are married are, on average, slightly happier than people who are not married. Which has been known for a long time, so people have sort of internalized the idea that marriage equals happiness. But when you break down the numbers in that, what it actually looks like is that people in happy marriages are much happier than everyone else and people in unhappy marriages are much less happy than everyone else. So being in a good relationship is the best situation. But being single is the second-best, and far better than being in a bad relationship. So to me, itās like not the very best, but it is the second-best and thatās pretty good. Itās like you donāt have a Jaguar but you have a Honda, and itās reliable and gets you where you need to go. And at least youāre not driving a car from the ā70s with a leak in the fuel-line and a plastic Jaguar-sculpture taped on the hood.

Iād rather be single than be with someone who doesnāt appreciate my love and affection.

I was engaged but broke it off in July after putting up with a lot of disrespect from him and his family. I had quite a bit of money put aside for our wedding, but now I can spend it on things Iāve wanted for a very long time. I am finally taking care of myself and learning more about who I am as an individual instead of being someoneās fiancĆ©e.
