in the end

Their eyes look at me with such sincerity. "you're so amazing. anyone would be so lucky to have a partner so beautiful and smart and interesting." - my friends list off all the reasons why I shouldn't worry about my singleness. I look back at them wondering how they are exactly the same things they call me and yet are also single. With each adjective I find my eyes shed a tear. I don't know if I'll find a partner that can match what I am willing to bring to the table.  Worst case scenario I am living the life of a single woman who loves dogs and the way the leaves rustle in the wind. Is it so terrible to be alone? Would my life hold less meaning if I never find "my other half"?

it is more than okay to be alone. and it is more than okay to want to be with someone. nothing is definite. nothing is set in stone. do what is right for you right now.

no way! some people are in relationships that are feeling more lonely. relationships do not and should not define who you are.

All I can say is that I resonate with your words.
