The Single Life
Most people can name things that are good and bad about being single, and alternately, good and bad things about being in a relationship. But generally, no matter what situation you're in, when you're busy and off doing your thing, whether it be work, school, or taking out the trash, you don't tend to dwell on either the good or the bad of your current status. But every now and then, something comes along and reminds you of your place in this world and where you fit in, and what if any, good or bad is currently embedded into your single-life or your relationship-life.
Well, I am currently single. And most days, I get by just fine and dandy without caring at all about it -- instead focusing on my work, my music, and other business projects. But lately, as I've been spending more time here on SG, reading through people's profiles and thumbing through their photo galleries, I am reminded of just how single I am. It seems that 8 out of every 10 members has some sort of significant other in their life, to whom I'm "introduced" by way of the pictures in the their photo galleries.
It's times like these, that I feel myself longing for someone. I feel an empty vacuum in my soul where a significant other would be if I had one. And it's not so much that I long to be kissed or held -- sure that's always nice. But it's times like these where I see other member's posting photos of their loved ones, that I say to myself "I wish I had someone in my life that I was so excited about that I'd want to share their picture with the rest of the world".
If I only wanted to be kissed and held, I could hook-up quickly with some random stranger at a party or bar, but that's not what I want. I want someone who I care about -- who I can post to my SG photo gallery and smile everytime I'm reminded of her.

Granted I can't move out because of our finances and that is dragging it out. But the loneliness of living with someone you once loved and knowing that their love for you just wasn't enough is more painful than living alone.
It makes me really wonder about who I am and why I seem to always drive people away.
