Fairy-tale ending
I've heard it from what seems like hundreds of friends, acquaintances, and strangers. Said in a hundred different ways.
Every time I hear it, I feel just a little bit more alone. I fight to maintain some sort of balance between my natural skepticism and the happier girlish ideals about the inevitability of true love. ("Wuv...twue wuv...") I find those ideals harder and harder to believe as time goes on.
Do I really want to be this vulnerable in a blog entry? Oh well.
There's someone out there for you.
You're so awesome! I can't believe you don't have a boyfriend!
He doesn't know what he's missing.
I hate him for not seeing anything in you!
Just wait--someday that'll be you.

Maybe I have the gift that everyone speaks so highly of
Funny how nobody wants it
(Caedmon's Call)
I say love will come to you
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true
As if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through
Where there's now one there will be two
(Indigo Girls)
