The more I learn about 'adult' relationships, the more relieved I feel that I am single.

I don't understand how two people who are unrelated, who were strangers until serenipity brought them together, can share their bodies, but not their hearts and future.

That feels so much like mating to me and it's so... animalistic. No offense, I know sex is a primal instinct that ensures humanity survival, but...

All right, I'm a prune; it can't be helped since I've been brought up in a super conservative and traditional family. Mum disapproves of dating before, like, 30. Which explains why I'm still single.

It really is tiring to have a mum who married her first boyfriend because she expects you to do the same. Things have changed since your time, Mom.
Relationship are complex and never what they seem on the outside. One couple can seem made for each other, but no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors. Having learn some things I'd rather not know about, I'm disappointed and upset at how fickle humans can be.

It's true that you never really know someone. Everyone has a hidden layer and it's hidden for a damn good reason.

Boring as my life is, I'm appreciative for what I have: job, friends, hope for the future. I think we'll all be happier if we can learn to enjoy being with ourselves. Men are seriously, seriously over-rated.
