If you are alone, I can’t give you much advice on how to change that; I can only say that you’re not really alone, because we’re all somewhat alone, but that doesn’t mean very much anyway. But if you’re afraid of being alone, I can tell you that I know it’s terrifying.

People who spend most of their lives alone aren’t necessarily “good” at it, but they’re better-adjusted. People who spend most of their lives alone will tell you how much better it is, and how much easier it is, and how you should really stop being sad about it because they aren’t sad about it and that makes them stronger.

Women Don’t Want To Be Married. We Just Want To Be Rich.

A few friends were talking the other day about how they know women who have settled down and gotten married, primarily because they had reached a certain age and they felt like it was time. And, of course, because they wanted kids. And they did not want to raise kids alone.
