Most of the time, being single really doesn’t bother me anymore. I’ve never been in any sort of relationship. I’ve never even been asked out let alone been on a date. And most days, I couldn’t care less.
My closest friend live 2 hours away. The next is in another country. I have a sister that lives only 30 miles away, but we have never been real close (although this may be finally changing). Our other sister lives across the country. I live with my mother because I can’t afford not to. We do most things together because neither of us have any friends around here. She also lives with her mother and step dad (and therefore so do I by default) because she can’t afford not to.
I’m used to not having many friends and over the years I’ve gotten used to not having many nearby. I always had my brother. That is one adjustment I just can’t seem to make.
Most days I’m okay. Some days, I feel like I can’t breathe. Like there is a huge, gaping hole in my chest.
It’s a good thing I have my dogs. :-) I’d really be lost then.
