Single Awareness Day - I suppose it should not feel as annoying as it does(since I have all kinds of practice) but then again maybe it should. I have not been in a significant relationship for WAY too long and I am sure most of that fact is directly my fault.
And now I am somewhere in the middle of my life, without a significant woman in my life(other than my family of course), and I am sure I am not the only person who is confused about why. I find myself attracted to girls/women who probably don't make sense to most people(including the person I am attracted to) and it can feel like I am simply throwing away my energy in futile pursuits.
This isn't intended to sound so negative. It is simply another admission of my typical shortcomings as I feel like I have struck out again. Though, in a hopeful thought I may just be hitting foul balls and I am still actually standing in the batting box, but I don't really know either way. As strange as it sounds I prefer to feel this disappointed feeling of "at least I was interested and gave it a shot, better luck next time" over having no interest in anybody at all.
'Tis better to have liked and lost
Than never to have like at all.
