I saw the title and knew I had to leave a comment just off of that alone. I'm ok with being single for the rest of my life also, and I crave my solitude. It's a peace that I can't explain. Especially after having my trust broken so many times by so called loved ones. I will not let a relationship or friendship take me out of my peace like that again. Thanks for writing a beautiful piece that I will be sharing for years to come (I wish I could pin this on my profile, and I'm about to re-read it again).
