Call it a hint of sour grape syndrome if you like but I'm pretty glad I'm not in a relationship right now. I've never gotten used to the idea of writing (for all to see) about my relationships with other people, they hit too close to the heart, and I don't intend to. But I can say for certain, on behalf of many people who know my dramatic, cyclical love story, that they are happy for me just the way I am now, their support of which I am extremely grateful for. Especially my mother.
She's right. I'm happy I don't have the commitment issues, the stress of having to balance studies, personal life, boyfriend and friends all at the same time, the guilt for not calling or text-ing when required, the burden of someone else's emotion on you, the moments where I wish I could forgo talking to my significant other for a night of fun. I'm glad, but then again, call it sour grapes if you wish.

"Chelle ah, don't get a boyfriend until after you graduate. Concentrate on your studies first, women nowadays don't get married young, you have plenty of time."
