I often tell people with confidence that I don't mind being alone. I enjoy many things about being alone, and I wholeheartedly believe that it's easier being alone than feeling lonely in a bad relationship. But after a week of having someone around to talk to and hold hands, go out to dinner with and get regular hugs, I admit...I really miss being in a relationship.
I like to think of myself as independent and strong, and I am, but... it's been nearly three years since I've been in a steady relationship. I'm getting a little tired of so much alone time.

independent and strong doesn't mean you want to be ALONE. I understand. Wanna come to Houston anytime soon? Halloween is a fun time here.
Halloween is the official holiday of NYC, when people don't have to make excuses for why they are walking the streets dressed in all sort of bizarre costumes. Why would anyone want to be anywhere else on that day?
And as for being alone, better to be alone for the right reasons than, as you say, feeling alone when you are in a relationship. keep letting that good head on your shoulders keep that romantic heart on a short leash!
Awww,Emily..I feel for you I really do..you are such a lovely,caring and beautiful person that I am amazed you have not met Mr. Right yet!..I firmly believe 'he' is on his way though. xx

Yes, yes, yes. I also believe that having become a successful single will make for a more successful relationship. And I'll miss decisions only considering myself one day - but like you, some days I say, "okay, that's enough now." Still waiting for my message to reach the right ears!
jman makes a good point - I think I'd like to experience Halloween in NYC one of these years. That has to be some good people watching!
Thanks for the offer, Steph. I'm not sure what my plans are for Halloween just yet.
jman - Halloween is one of my favorites, but Houston has two of my nieces and one of my nephews. It's always fun to be with them.
A. Norma - I'm okay, not too much of a pity party here. Just getting a little tired of it, you know? Hopefully, you are right and something is on the horizon.
Traci N - I'm so sorry we didn't meet when you were in NYC! Definitely let me know if you come back this way.
I definitely will - same if you ever find yourself in metro Detroit, accidentally. :)
I took a lot of photos while there. Not as many as I would have liked, but I wasn't traveling with a photography enthusiast. But, I'll be sending a couple fun shots from Campbell Apartment. I had to drag my friend out for a drink stop the night we went - so glad we did. I loved it! Great suggestion. Too bad the delicious Prohibition Passion breaks the bank!
