One Fine Day

The downside to singledom is not knowing if you'll ever meet anyone. The upside is that you will. Or at least you might.

Aphorisms abound:


...you will find someone when the time is right...


...someone will pop into your life when you least expect...


...act like you don't care, and you'll find the person who will...


etcetera.

Trouble is that none of this advice helps with the actual meeting of new people, the lifeblood of we on-our-owners.

Given that finding people takes actual effort - as opposed to sitting on your duff and scrolling through yet another dating website - it helps to reframe the argument, viz:

Being single isn't about being without; it's a hike through interesting countryside, sometimes barren, sometimes lush, sometimes completely unremarkable. But one day the most wonderful vista will open up, and you'll want to stay.





Yeah, I know. Pathetic, eh?
