of greener pastures, grass, and what-not

It's ironic that I feel more complete without a man in my life. The freedom that comes from not compromising, not having to wait, not being involved in emotionally-exhausting quarrels... it's exhilarating.

Woke up this morning and a chapter in my life seemed to have snapped shut. Felt like a butterfly which had just managed to struggle free of its coccoon.

Which is not the same as saying that I wanna be a nun, or worse, an SFL (Spinster For Life). Just that since I am perfectly capable of functioning as a human being without a man, I can take my time to consider carefully any romantic proposal which may come my way.

I want to be who I want to be, not someone whom some silly guy wants me to be.

I don't desire the grass beyond the white picket fence.
