Wow. I just read a paragraph in a book that totally sums up my life.
The single life is a life of uncertainty. I'll always wonder if or when I'll get married. But I remind myself that everyone has to deal with uncertainty. Some people worry about having a job or whether they'll ever have children. Others have disabled children and worry for their future. My particular uncertainty is marriage. Yes, I want to get married, but not to just anyone. I want the right person. Romance -- it's one of those things that seems so unimportant, yet, in a way, it is at the center of everything.
Wow. Just wow. Thank you, Rebecca H. Jamison. You hit the nail on the head. (The book is Persuasion: A Latter-Day Tale, by the way. A modern version of Jane Austen's Persuasion, which is my most favorite of her books.)
