I Feel Alone

I feel alone-but I don't mind being alone! Yes, there have been a few occasions where my near-constant alone-ness would bother me, but mostly I'm okay with it; I even like it! I'll be 50 next year, and I have never been married. Men have a problem with my independence; they think I should need them. I'm thinking that I may be like those women you hear of-childless and never married. If I had really wanted children I know I could have accomplished that (and probably be divorced several times by now), but I'm now in peri-menopause, and having children was never a goal of mine. So-single, childless and proud of it!
