No man will want to be with you, you have your own life.

Those are the words spoken to me almost a week ago now and are still resonating. 

I suspect its my independence.  Or the things I do for myself to make my dreams come true.  Or the standards I have for myself to have a career, not a job.  All these are my responsibility anyway, whether there is a man in my life or not.  I have to make myself happy, no man can do that.  I am employed doing something I enjoy, no man can do that for me.  Maybe this person I've become is a direct result of being raised by a first born fiercely independent woman.  However it may be, I wouldnt change me for anything in the world, let alone to have a man in my life.

Those who look at me and think no man will want to be with me, or think 'what a shame she couldnt snag herself a husband', I am very happy with my life.  And someday, the right man will come along and it will only add happiness to my life.
