The Single Gal

The princess often lament at her forever single status. She looks at happily attached couples and wonders if she too could be like them.

But then of course, the sharp-eyed princess realises that most seemingly happily attached couples are often in some sham relationship, under the pretence of joy that should come in a relationship.

And the princess wonders why one has to turn a blind eye to the obvious cheatings that must have taken place a million times. Or the right-in-your-face incompatibility a couple is in, trying to pretend everything is fine and well in the name of love.

Is it blind faith, simple ignorance or the fact that any bird in the hand is worth two in the bushes?

As we progressed well into the new millennium, how much of our irrational fears still clings with us? Why should ladies questioned themselves on their abilities to find a better man unless they do not even think highly of their own self-worth?

Why a lady of today would think a man would make her life much better than before and not the other way round?

Sometimes the princess wonders is it more pathetic to be a singleton in today's world and a today's attached woman trapped in yesterday's mentality.
