I know it does me no good to compare, but I m still single after getting divorced ten years ago. Why should she have so much happiness when I am lonely and would love to meet someone else?
If you are a woman â and if youâre not, youâre more than welcome here, too â you have relationships of all shapes and sizes, closeness and casualness, complexity and simplicity. Whether you secretly feel lonely, consider yourself rotten at relationships, or feel like you have too many to ever grab a minute alone, I can guarantee that a significant portion of your mental energy is expended navigating and negotiating the connections you have with the people in your life.
I hope youâre the kind of human being who will smile at the stranger passing you in the grocery store, say good morning even when itâs raining outside and offer your seat on the subway to an elder. Congratulations! These are all tiny little relationships. They mean a lot to the recipient of your seemingly insignificant kindness and consideration.
