Single

Sometimes we fear that if we are independent and single, there won't be any love. We resist becoming independent because we're afraid that if we do, we'll be lonely, unloved, and uncared for. We suspect that we'll be bored, with nothing to look forward to, and so we resist growing up. The sad part it, we miss out on the feeling of being in love, in love with life.
Love doesn't necessarily have to be a relationship with another person, it could be as simple as being a quality of our own heart. If you ever felt like you were in love, but you had no lover, then you know what a tremendous joy an open heart brings. An open heart responds to the goodness in yourself and those you meet.

"Everyone is single, think about it, we each come into this world as one tiny, little individual. Oh yes, we have a mother and a father, and we may have brothers and sisters and a whole bunch of relatives, but basically each one of us, regardless of our relationship to others, is one human being. We have many types of relationships, which often give us the illusion of not being single at all. Yet if we examine our situation more closely, we see that regardless of our relationships to others, regardless of our marital status, we are still just one little person. Throughout our lives we have playmates and friends, acquaintances, casual contacts, and colleagues. We have lovers and spouses, and various combinations thereof, but still we remain uniquely one human being. No one else ever abides in our skin." Judy Ford
