He was having problems with his girlfriend. He didn’t know whom to turn to. Since he’d always trusted her, the girl everyone considers a friend, he went to her. He badly needed someone to listen to him.

She did. Listened to him and provided a shoulder to cry on. She’s always been really great in providing an outlet to the troubled souls around her. It’s no wonder everyone considers her a friend.

She’s the shoulder to cry on of most guys and she won’t spill their secrets or tell anybody how they bawled their eyes out.

I feel like being by my lonesome tonight. Some cocktails for me. Good music playing softly, a soothing buzz from others’ conversations.

I don’t always want my family and friends around me. I don’t always want every one talking to me. There are days when being alone is best. Trust me, you need a day when you can hear yourself think. You need a day of solitude.

I remember the pitying looks I got from former co-workers whenever they saw me eating lunch by myself. They would go out of their way to invite me to eat lunch with them. I go out of my way to avoid them. I’d rather eat lunch by myself and feel the peace and quiet around me, than be surrounded by people I didn’t like at all and their needless chatter.

Yes, a solitary day is still the best from time to time.

I am not hiding the fact that I am short in funds most of the time. Despite the fact that I am earning above average income per month, I still find myself short of funds from time to time, especially during months when there are birthday celebrations of family members.

Most of my dream travel destinations stay just that. As a dream. I’ve been vocal about my wish to go to the beach. But I can’t do that yet because of lack of funds. I can probably go there myself but where’s the fun in that? I want to go to the beach with the family or even with friends. But then it will all go back to the lack of funds.

I know that there will come a time when I will have more than enough funds to finance my travel plans. Soon.

Yes, I am afraid to let go. Don’t ask me why. I have been in love a couple of times in the past. I’ve seen my share of successful marriages. But still, it’s hard for me to let myself go.

I know they say that it is better to have loved than not to have loved at all. I fell in love and every time it was a failure. Tell me, do I fall in love again just to prove how good it is to love and be loved? Do I let go and let my heart be free?

Sometimes, it’s so hard to let go of the past. It’s the one constant in your life and you just can’t get past it. You can’t move on or see the light. If you’ve been in this situation, or is currently in one, you would know what I am talking about…

I saw him again. Truth is, there’s nothing there anymore. But to see him again is to bring the past up. Nothing more than that. I just miss the old times. That’s it.

I am ready to let go of the past now. Thank you very much.

I feel like a teen crushing on Joe Jonas. I really love this guy’s looks! My sister was teasing me about my crush on this younger man. Hey, it’s just a crush! It’s not like I am turning into a cougar already, right? Yikes! I am still young to be like that.

The guy has a great bod, by the way. I’ve seen a video of them on tour and wow! The guy has a potential. *winks*

I love the idea of being in love!

Whenever I hear songs that touches my heart, I have this longing to share it with someone I am intimate with. Of course, that’s just an idea. The ex is not a music lover but we got along just fine. And I didn’t share with him songs that I like because I know he wouldn’t appreciate it.

I have an active imagination. I have an ideal man in my mind. I have things I want to share with him. I have ways on how to make him feel loved. I even have photos of us being sweet and cuddly…

After the song ends, I go back to the idea of being single is still the best for me. For now.

My sister turned 29 today. Still single like me. All four of us sisters (a brother is still in college) are still single. I think it’s safe to say that we are not averse to the idea of getting married. It’s just that we are more inclined to enjoy life being a single woman. I guess that’s more like it.

My sister has a boyfriend and they’ve been together for four years already, if I am not mistaken. But both are still enjoying just being boyfriend and girlfriend. They’re already planning for the future but marriage is not yet in the near horizon.

I wonder if my brother, who’s just 17, will be the first one to get married… probably a few years after college. Give or take 2 years. Haha!

I have never been afraid of a future of single blessedness. I know that I can take care of myself. I am not bitter about it. I can manage on my own. I have no problems with that idea whatsoever.

Some people regret it, on my behalf. But I tell them that I am happy. I am content.

Nobody believes me.

Do I look like I need some TLC from a man?

What I thought was an end turned out to be a middle.
What I thought was a brick wall turned out to be a tunnel…

Someday, I will be out of that tunnel and be in the sunlight once more. It ain’t easy but I know I can do it.

Only I need to have faith in me.
