First, sugar - I love that you post the source links to images (some sites don't even do that.)

My truth? I'm perfectly happy being single and not dating anyone. At 25, most people think you're in an exclusive relationship (but I'm just happpy with family and friends)

Hi Bonne -- It's strange, isn't it, how the default setting for interacting with women can be to assume we're coupled or actively looking to be. Love is important, of course, and has been celebrated & lamented in every culture across time. That doesn't mean, however, that a single life is by its nature an absence to be filled. There's something very rich about being single, knowing one's self, and loving in many different directions. Thank you for posting and declaring the truth of this for so many of us!
