I just got criticized by my mother for not having a girlfriend - said I'd be a lot happier if I had someone. Well, I don't see why that would be the case. I've never had a girlfriend before, and never felt the need to have one. It may well be that I will find somebody in the future, but I don't see it as a necessity. I know that she had a rough time since the divorce, and I know she could not see herself keep on living without somebody, but I really don't get that. Aside from not having that emotional urge, I don't feel the need to bring another life or lives into this overcrowded world. Call me cold, but I almost never fall in love. Last time was when I was eleven or so. It's like Halley's Comet.
You know, I'm happy my mother found somebody again, but I think it's like some kind of addiction: if you've never been dependent on anybody, maybe the urge to find somebody to love is far weaker. Either that, or I'm just not human. I'd be okay with that
