So, through my Facebook account people from high school have been contacting me. Some of them I’m glad to hear from, some of them I don’t care either way, and one of them? I don’t actually have any recollection of her whatsoever.

Anyway, it’s all good. Except that every single one of them is married. Most of them have kids. This has been quite the shock to me, because very few of my real life friends are married. Even fewer have kids. It’s just not a circle I run in. And yet somehow I feel like I missed the train.

The odd thing about this? I don’t really want to get married. I don’t really want to have kids. I’m looking for more of a heterosexual life partner. Live together, split costs, nothing more legally binding than maybe a mortgage. (Note I said legally. It’s entirely possible to have a long-term relationship without being married.) In this day and age, I’m not sure that marriage means all that much. There are other reasons according to my therapist. Let’s not get into that.
Of course, all of this comes at a time when I feel ready to date again. So, if you happen to know someone who isn’t going to be all, “Let’s have babies right away!” isn’t that into religion, and likes the outdoor activities, send him my way.

Yea, I didn’t think so.
