It's most illogical
I was really actively trying to date. Like, really trying. I asked
people to set me up. I went online. I had 4 dates set up since the
first of the year. Every single one of them fell off of the face of the
earth as soon as the words "it's a date" were uttered. I am not taking
it personally. I truly feel like I am a catch and I really think it is
they're loss, and if they're that type of douche bag I would like to
know before I waste any real time on them, so I considered it
a gift. One night, a couple of weeks ago, I had a little moment of
clarity where I realized, without any self-loathing, self-deprecation,
and especially no self pity that I am just going to be alone. And for
the first time I am kind of ok with that. I was so lucky to have been
loved so well, like seriously loved SOOOOO well. I mean, it was instant,
and true, and electric, and I remember feeling like I couldn't squeeze
him hard enough, I couldn't tell him enough what he meant, the word love
seemed so small and meaningless compared to the level of profundity and
abundance I had for him and the I KNEW and I still KNOW in my whole
being that it was 100% reciprocal. How could I ever expect that again?
It's just....illogical and childish to think I will ever be in love like
that twice in a lifetime. I wasn't sad when I realized this. I think I
will have a boyfriend again, maybe after grad school someday. I am
sure I will share time with someone. I would love to make children, but
I am not sure I will have that chance either (that is what I am
struggling to accept). But really, I have been alone for over 3 years
now and I really truly like who I am and what I do. I am proud of
myself and what I have accomplished since KC died and I believe he would
be proud of me too. But, I have given up wasting time looking for the
impossible. It's just not possible. But I think that's ok.
