Dear life, please seem so much less empty. I understand that a good number of my peers are settling down and getting engaged/married/into long term relationships/having kids but that's not in my cards for a long time to come or maybe ever. Might I remind you of the three year nightmare that came along when I last decided to 'just settle'? Stop shouting at me in all those odd moments of downtime when I'm not prepared to deal with you. Thanks.
