“Some people would have killed themselves and/or someone else if they were single; and some people would not have done that.”

“Many a woman would not be in a relationship with or married to her man, if he earned half of what he earns; and many a man would not be in a relationship with or married to his woman, if he earned twice as much as he earns.”

“Singles are told to be content with where they are in life but also encouraged and pressured to move out of their current “situation” or “season.” Being told both of these can become a bit confusing.”

“Let’s encourage singles to enjoy this season in other ways than simply telling them it’s a gift. Because if we are being honest, marriage is a gift too and you can’t blame a girl for wanting it.”

“God’s story for someone’s life may look different than the “typical” story you are used to hearing, but that does not diminish the beauty and gift from God. It does not mean someone has lived life wrong. It means God has something else in store.”

“The best things you can do for your single friends is to listen, validate them, and encourage them never to lower their standards if what they desire lines up with what God says is best.”

“Desiring marriage does not automatically mean I am discontent in my life. As long as I desire Jesus more than marriage, I shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed for desiring to be married one day.”

“We often correlate the “bad or unwanted” feelings we have with what we believe to be the truth, but our feelings don’t always tell the full picture. If we are not careful, we will start to let these false narratives become our life mottos. So what is the truth? God does care, and just because we are unable to see clearly why he chooses to love us a certain way in this exact moment doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.”

“What you allow yourself to think and feel becomes what you believe about yourself. Make sure everything you believe about yourself and the current journey God has you on aligns with what God says about you.”

“Sometimes he wonders whether this very idea of loneliness is something he would feel at all had he not been awakened to the fact that he should be feeling lonely, that there is something strange and unacceptable about the life he has. Always, there are people asking him if he misses what it had never occurred to him to want, never occurred to him he might have . . . Some of them ask him with pity, and some ask him with suspicion: the first group feels sorry for him because they assume singledom is not his decision but a state imposed upon him; and the second group feels a kind of hostility for him, because they think that his singlehood is his decision, a defiant violation of a fundamental law of adulthood.”

“At times, I had nightmares. What would happen if I manage to outlive my parents (you never know about the smokers, for they can die anytime)? Would there be anyone to cremate my dead body? Or will people discover it after fourteen days, only when they feel the stench? Should I adopt a dog? No! Who will take care of him once I die? Should I adopt cats? They’re independent and self-sufficient, right? But what If I have a stroke and fail to provide them food, would they then eat me alive, bit by bit, in their extreme hunger?”

“Saul stared at his Whisky Sour. He hadn’t heard from Zoe in about a week. Maybe she had lost interest. All at once, the room was filled with people laughing, talking about how wonderful it was to be a couple. He was mildly amused at how disconcerting being alone felt. He had met Zoe about a month ago, when he helped her cross a busy boulevard. Yet, it seemed like he had known her for years. He stepped outside to call and leave another message.”

“...you needs uh man.” Janie laughed at all these well-wishers because she knew that they knew plenty of women alone; that she was not the first one they had ever seen. But most of the others were poor. Besides she liked being lonesome for a change. This freedom feeling was fine. These men didn’t represent a thing she wanted to know about. She had already experienced them...”

“A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.”
