Not Anytime Soon

It is hard to be single in a culture that ours have when each and every relative that you have ask you ever family occasion that you have whether you have a special someone in your life. I usually hold my breath until it ends. I usually wish that the ground would open up and swallow me whole.

But I know that I am lucky because I live on my own. I no longer live with my parents much to their disappointment. Do you know that I savor each morning that I make my own cup of coffee with my single cup coffee machine? I do! Right now, I am content with what I have and I am not letting go of my single cup coffee maker any time soon. Too bad for my relatives though.
