As with most people, my mind wanders to some of the most random places at times. Other times, there's a reason why my mind goes where it goes. This evening, I was thinking about how half of my friends are either married with/expecting children, or are single. I have very few friends who are just in a relationship. It seems kind of strange thinking about it, really. I've reached the age where it's completely normal for people to be getting married and starting families. Or embracing the hell out of their singleness if they're not on the married side of the spectrum.

Currently, I'm on the single side of things. And I'm perfectly okay with this, at least for now. I met someone whom I'd love to be able to date, but it's out of the question at this present time. I wish we were at least talking on a semi-regular basis, but it's been too long now; things would be awkward as all hell if I suddenly attempted to maintain an open form of communication. Oh well. I accept it for what it is and continue to embrace being single.

I can list, off the top of my head, 4 of my friends who are either currently expecting, or are trying for it. Which is crazy! I'm not even dating anyone and people around me are reproducing. I guess that's what happens when you inch closer to 30.

Now, I've never been shy about my feelings toward this route in my life. My future "children" will all be fur babies. I feel like a small part of this is a reason as to why I'm still single. Obviously it's not the right time in my life for it to happen; otherwise it'd be happening, but at the same time, I have to find a guy who's views on having offspring is equivalent to mine.

In due time, I suppose. It's possible that I've already met this man, but the point in which our paths are supposed to become one is still to come. It's also just as possible that I haven't met this person yet; our paths are still waiting to intersect. It's split 50/50 down the middle. I'm curious, though. My curiosity gets the better of me quite often; this is just one of those situations where my curiosity cannot simply be answered by me asking people, reading through books or relying on Google for the answers.

Only time will tell.
