Yep. I was going to respond to that one too, but I was already at the job that actually pays me for my labor and falling behind.

And this is why I finally gave up on dating. Even the decent men are just too much work in one way or another. And I'm tired. And I'm angry. And I'm a second class citizen again. And my poor daughter is going to have to worry about getting pregnant and dying in ways that I heard about but thought were gone forever. And a woman got murdered for walking her dog on a trail where I often am with Juliter. And there's a serial rapist in Phoenix who's raping women at bus stops while cars go by and no one even notices. And ever day there's a mass shooting and that's not counting all the other shootings. And...and...and...

And nothing ever matters more or ever has mattered more than men. And one day I woke up and was going about my day and I realized that even if I found someone, I was past the point of being able to spend my life with someone.

And I was okay with that. I wasn't sad about it. I was actually kinda grateful. Then a bit later that day I realized I had lost all interest in dating men some time ago, I just didn't realize it.

And that was it. I stopped dating and I stopped feeling bad all the time. And I was good. It's all good. The only time I feel like crap now is the occasional frustrsrion with men online. Mostly I don't bother or I blast them and go about my day.
