new ideas i developed about single life
In the few days since I found this website and wrote, “Dedicated to Sandra G”, I have read many submitted writings. I find being married is to be desired, as I always thought it was and confirmed from the testimony of the married people who contributed to this website.
In the writings of the different singles, the most influential writing on me at this time is purposeful singleness. So I am going to put my life under a microscope. In the past, when I come across married people on the street, I was always conscious that they are married and I am single.
Since reading “Purposeful Singleness” on more than one occasion, I recalled in my memory how on the Boston subway system, how I noticed a female looking at a married couple where the wife was pregnant, and the female rider I noticed smiled at them. My reaction to this situation had me feel unhappy because I wasn't married, as they were and also my feeling inferior to married people because I wasn't married also, and I wasn't having children.
I am starting to change my behavior because tonight when I went to eat at Wendy's, I smiled at many people I passed by whether married, by themselves, young or old because of the woman I recalled I saw on the subways has a lesson for me to learn. Also my life tends to be going from one useless distraction to another, but in the past I thought of things I would like to accomplish that would accomplish some good, and I am entering them in a list in my computer; as I recall them.
Another change that is coming is in the writing “On Wanting Sex”; to study this closer since I think it would be useful to me.
Finally I find the 30 romantic ideas with the music to be mind boggling in its beauty.
