Answer to daily writing prompt

Daily writing prompt
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

Well I have never had much luck in the way of love. Therefore when I have been around those closest to me who are currently dating someone, I feel out of place due to jealousy as I feel like a loser who has now lived more than half of his natural born life as a single man and I’m really getting sick of it. I know I have a lot to offer a woman but I’ve never been given the chance to show how much. Therefore it pains me to say this but I have no place around women because I’m not good enough to be around them

  1. Yes you are. Please don’t give up love. There is hope for everyone. This comes from a woman who lost love of her life to death. And I still believe in love. You haven’t just met the right person.

    1. Thank you for your words of encouragement. After thinking about it long and hard, I’ve decided that maybe having a girlfriend isn’t the best idea as my first one really caused me problems even after she was gone. Having said that, I still have my moments where I get depressed and make it my mission to find another girlfriend despite the objections of those around me and the anxiety it causes me to think about what would happen if everything that happened during and after my first relationship, (I will not get into details,) was to happen again. I fear that I may not be able to rebound from the consequences it might cause. Also, I’m a man in my 30’s now and my health is not the greatest. This sort of influences my decision on whether or not to move forward in my pursuit as I feel like my age is becoming a factor. If I’m being completely honest, maybe the way things are currently is just fine for me. I have people that love me and I life I wouldn’t give up for the world and I feel that maybe having a girlfriend may just complicate things. However, once again I thank you for your words of encouragement and I know this response is kind of random. I’m not the most tech literate person in the world and I’m still figuring out certain aspects of this website. I see the response from you was left at the beginning of October and I just realized now how to reply to it.

      I really appreciate this kind response and once again…..thank you.

      1. It was nice to get this reply. I’m not the best with tech either so I get it. I’m sorry your first relationship was so bad and even afterwards as well. I had one bad relationship and one where my ex was emotionally abusive. It took me two years to escape that one. After that relationship I did fell in love with love of my life. Unfortunately we couldn’t life together him dying so suddenly. (Not going in details on that.) It took me over 10 years to get over that grief. I’m a woman but I can relate that being in my 30’s also and because of mine chronic illness my own health ain’t good. Balancing life and illness ain’t always easy. But I’m living in one of my favorite cities in the world. Have my amazing friends and loved ones. Not dating or even looking for dating at the moment. I do understand why you feel how your life is currently is just fine. Because I do feel similar way in my own. And right now I’m too busy with pursuit a career as a professional writer. Also I have dedicated my life to animal rescue so that keeps me busy as well. But after all the pain and heartbreak and grief of losing the one I have loved the most. I still believing in love. I want to keep my heart open if there is someone who I will fall in love. And get into a relationship to built a life together. But if that won’t happen I’m fine with that too. I have seen people been able to find love in their late 50’s and 60’s. So while both of us are in 30’s that ain’t that old yet. Or too late. Life has always been an adventure and a journey for me. What future will bring is unknown. All the wonderful things that are still ahead are unknown as well. Now I’m going to go write today’s blog post and then back to working on the plot of my newest story I have started to create. It was nice to get your reply and I wish all the good for you.

      2. Well in my eyes, I don’t want to be that old and find someone,(in their 50’s or 60’s.) As a matter of fact, I would want to find someone before I even reach 40 years old because I want to date while I’m still young. I find that by even 40 years old, you have already advanced from being young to old. I want someone who I can spend a long time with. Not someone who enters my life after I’ve already lived half of mine. This is of course if I was ever going to find someone which until I do is off the table for me. This means I will go through life not expecting to meet anyone until it happens as it will just disappoint me more if it doesn’t.

        Thank you for your reply
