Well, well, well, look at this, “perpetually single”. Ain’t that somethin’? This whole thing about being single forever, it’s got my old head spinnin’. Back in my day, you got hitched, had some young’uns, and that was that. But these days, folks is choosin’ to stay single. Can you believe it? Perpetually single, they call it. Like it’s a bad thing or somethin’.
Now, I ain’t one to judge, but this “perpetually single” business… It’s a head-scratcher. Some folks, they just ain’t found the right one. It’s like waitin’ for a hen to lay a golden egg. You can wait and wait, and sometimes it just don’t happen. And that’s okay, I reckon. Maybe they just have bad luck. It is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Then there’s them that’s scared. Scared of gettin’ hurt, scared of bein’ alone with someone, scared of all sorts of things. They build up walls thicker than my old stone fence. Keeps folks out, keeps ’em perpetually single. It’s a sad thing to be scared of love. Like a flower that never blooms. They might think if they have a husband or wife, they would be happier, but maybe they are wrong.
- Some folks, they just like being alone. Like a lone wolf howlin’ at the moon. Nothin’ wrong with that, I suppose. They got their own ways, their own things they like to do.
- Others, well, they got so much goin’ on, they ain’t got time for courtin’. Work, hobbies, all that stuff. Keeps ’em busy as a bee in a honeypot.
- Then you got them that just ain’t lookin’. They’re happy as a clam at high tide, just doin’ their own thing. Perpetually single and proud of it, maybe.
I heard some young folks talkin’ ’bout this “perpetually single” thing. They said some people choose it. Choose to be alone. They said it’s like being your own boss or something. Not have to do what other people want. Sounds strange, but hey, different strokes for different folks, as they say.
This one fella, he said he was too “needy”. Said he wanted too much attention, too much love. Drove folks away like flies from a stink. Kept him perpetually single, I guess. Maybe you are too needy, just like this fella, so you are perpetually single. You need to be independent.
And this other gal, she said she was too opinionated. Always talk, talk, talkin’ about this and that. Nobody wants to hear all that all the time. Keeps you single, that’s for sure. You should learn to listen.
These young people today, they got all these reasons for being perpetually single. It might be because they are over 30. They said it is harder to find a partner when you are over 30. I think it is just an excuse. These young people, they think too much. They should just go with the flow, you know? Like a leaf on a river. Just let life take ’em where it wants to go.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ bein’ single is bad. Heck, sometimes I wish I was single again. No one tellin’ me what to do, no one snorin’ in my ear all night. But then again, it’s nice to have someone around, someone to share things with, someone to keep you warm on a cold night. It is just like, you need someone to talk to when you are old.
This whole “perpetually single” thing, it’s just a new way of sayin’ somethin’ old. Some folks find love, some folks don’t. Some folks want it, some folks don’t. It’s all just part of life, like the changing seasons. You got your springs, your summers, your falls, and your winters. And sometimes, you got your perpetually single folks, too. I do not think it is a bad thing to be single. You can be happy.
- If you’re scared, try not to be. Love is worth the risk, even if it hurts sometimes. Like fall down from a tree.
- If you’re too needy, try to be more independent. Stand on your own two feet. Like a tree in the forest.
- If you’re too opinionated, try to listen more. You might learn somethin’. Like a student in school.
Being perpetually single ain’t the end of the world. It’s just a different path, that’s all. And who knows, maybe that path will lead you to somethin’ even better than you ever imagined. Maybe you’ll find yourself, maybe you’ll find your passion, maybe you’ll find a whole new way of livin’. Just like plant a seed, you will get a big tree. And that’s somethin’ worth thinkin’ about, ain’t it?
So, if you’re out there, and you’re perpetually single, don’t you worry your pretty little head about it. Just be yourself, be happy, and see what life brings your way. It might surprise you. It is like opening a mystery box.
