I love it (but yet deep down it annoys me) when someone asks me, "So, you're not married, no children, and your're almost thirty, what's wrong with you?".

My response is, "Not a darn thing."

I have an issue trusting a man enough to have children with him and I have never been able to afford to do it on my own (I think I would make a top notch single parent). Never really wanted to see my children go through life without a father though - since I had to - and I'm a girl. But, I was a tomboy - it was very tough.

Do I have commitment issues? Probably. Do I have trust issues? Probably. Do I have a track record of failed relationships? Yes.

So, because I have not rushed in and gotten married or pregnant.......there's something wrong with me?

Amazing how society impresses upon us what we "must do".

I believe in doing whatever makes you happy.

A quote from my grandmother on my dad's side, "You have to keep laughing. When it boils down to it - it is still a "solo flight" through life; like the Garden Party song says, "you just have to please yourself"
