Recently, I've been having thoughts about being single. I don't know why but maybe, just maybe, it's because I am.
Or maybe it's because every time I talk to a family member, any one of them is bound to ask me if I have "someone" in my life. Then, I'm always bound to say, "I don't have a someone. I have many-ones."
Or maybe it's because of a botched meet up with A.
Or maybe guys and relationships are the usual topics I have with my gay friends. I don't mind.
Maybe that's it. I don't mind being single. You can't miss something you never had, eh?
I know what it's like to be in a relationship. Having been around with people in various stages and types of romantic relationships has given me a fair picture of what's it like. Yeah, some may disagree and say that to really know one is to be in one. I do concur but it does not debunk what I so far understand about relationships. It is the same as I don't have to be a woman to understand the basics of women's concerns.
Being in a relationship has its ups and downs. There are high moments and low ones. It's a life bound by the same economic, political, social and cultural conditions, blah blah blah. Just like being single.
I do believe that everyone has to have someone with them. But it is not necessarily with a romantic someone.
I am single but I am not alone. I've never felt alone and it's probably due to the constant presence of comrades, family and friends. It's a belongingness that works for me now.
I don't mean to say that I'll be single for life. Romance is not known to be ageist. And yeah, I will take THAT step sometime, somehow.
As matters stand now though, I am happy being single. Anyway, who says that happiness cannot be had single-handed?

"I am single but I am not alone."
-- amen, pareh. i believe (said a la miss gay contestant) that you only need to surround your self with genuine friends and you can be as happy. a lover is just the icing on the cake.
The LTE Sisters used to validate single-hood by sealing close bonds with each other. But at the end of the day, each still looks for that 'someone' to get one's hands on the crown.
Parang nagrereinforce ka ng isang bagay sa sarili mo. Joke! Hehehe. Nakikiisa ako sa iyong pagiging single. Kaunting, kaunti na lang, maari akong gumawa ng bagong pact na higit na magpapatibay sa aking singleblessedness. Kelangan ko lang maging mas bato pa. :)
i agree with ate lyka. at the end of the day when you think about it, may kulang talaga that your friends or family can never fill....
....but after a few orgasms, nakakalimutan ko na rin. LOL
For now, you are single and happy... enjoy the moment.. hehehe

"I am single but I am not alone."
GOOD for you! But I have some point for you to ponder: YOU ARE SINGLE BUT ARE YOU COMPLETE? if not then you;ll say this:
"I am single but I am not alone. BUT I AM EMPTY!"
:( sad noh....
@dong: it still is working. so far. hehe
@abou: haha. magulo ang utak ng mga tao. lol
@Mac: haha. Mabuhay!
@olan: hmm. i've always believed that relationships is not about completing one's self. it's more of another arena for self-growth. kasi wala namang limit ang growth so there's really no completion point.
- jericho -
it's cool to be single. maraming advantages. hehehe!
aaron, tumagos sa akin ito.
being single is not so bad after all.
thanks parekoy, kahit lagi kang nakikipagcyber. hahaha.
Ah, singledom.
Just because you're single, that doesnt mean you're lonely. I agree.
Reading about your life, I know you have a lot with you... But Im hoping that your "other half" will come soon.
