Why I've Been Away

I am back and hopefully for good.

Once in awhile as a single person, you meet the occasional person that you enjoy spending time with and it becomes a "we" event. Inasmuch as I love coupling up, (believe me I do) nothing feels quite as good as waking up to a man right beside you. I absolutely LOVE coupling up, but it causes you to loose track of who you are: the single person. Your wants and needs get lost, your smile gets immersed with someone else's. You also dare not get used to becoming that "we" for oftentimes, it's temporary, and distracts you from "you," causing you to lose sight and focus from the you that you set out to be: the ever charming, quite wonderful, independent you that you've worked so hard to build.

So that's why I've been away. But I don't want to loose sight of who I am. I have these past few weeks and it troubled me greatly. I am supposed to be this pillar of strength for all the singles out there and I was crumbling into shreds. Forgive me for not being that sisterhood of strength and inspiration for all singles. As you can see we are all very vulnerable and fragile and susceptible to heartache, even me with all my "You Can Go It Alone" talk. I was still a victim.

Now, that we've gotten that out of the way, let us slowly try to make our way back. Maybe you guys can help me this time.
