Both dating and undating is tough. Generally speaking, even finding someone you may occasionally want to spend time with is tough (i.e. just a friend). I've asked this before ... where have all the people gone? My own world, albeit small, has been searched. I've searched the worlds of others (anyone got a friend of a friend?). I've searched virtual worlds (somewhat more successful but lacking in longevity thus far).
Maybe this is what the ticking is all about. Children--perhaps yes. But the ticking is beyond just that. Some sort of deep rooted desire for another to share life with. I have done and accomplished many things while on my own. Now I want have those moments with someone else. Someone to experience my stories not someone whom I will simply share my stories with.
So I tell myself, patience child, perhaps God is not done with either you or him just yet. Yet persists still the yearning.
