I live in the wilds of North Carolina, in a totally different stage of life-elderly-but I enjoy your story very much. Do try to take a long view of your life. Have friends, love yourself. Don't settle for someone to share life with unless he is interesting even when he is at the end and dinged up. i didn't settle and now I am so satisfied with how it turned out, even when II am cranky.

Jacquie? This comment alone made this essay worth writing. I promise to take the long view and I pray I land in the wilds with a handsome man too. Thank you for reading!!

Oh man, I have gotten that text and felt those feelings (my current husband even sent that text! And then months later drunkenly texted me because a bus shelter sign reminded him of me.) all this to say, it will happen, probably not at run club! Signed, an enneagram 3

This comment is a run club intervention and that means a lot coming from my running queen…. Thank you for reading and please tell me what you had in common with the bus shelter sign??

It was a poster about a dance in the neighborhood I grew up in! He was drunk but I see a little magic/god/fate in it all. Or the author in me does 💫

Oh also I do endorse run club if it’s your thing for fitness and fun but no more a bullet to a BF than anything else.

I just know your books will be spectacular, and I also deeply understand the weeping in the waiting. Sincerely, An Enneagram 3w2
