a question of semantics
Aug. 15th, 2009 06:57 pmcan one be an old maid after getting married and divorced? if you can, then i am fairly convinced i will die an old maid.
not that i necessarily want to, but i can see myself being single for the rest of my life. it may be cynical and pessimistic, but i just can't see finding anyone who would want to be with me. plus, one would actually have to GO OUT and, ya know, be SOCIAL in an attempt to find someone. i am a hermit and a loner, so odds aren't in my favor.
would i like to find someone? of course. would i like to have romance and love and all that other fairy tale crap? sure, why not. but i don't NEED it. i don't HAVE to have it. i mean, i'd like a million dollars. i'd like a LOT of things, but i know i'll never get them. and i have pretty much reconciled myself with the fact that i will NEVER get them. with the way that i am, i have to be content with that.
so yeah, i'll be that creepy old lady down the street with a million cats. destined to die a lonely old bitch.
