Not by choice

It’s so funny listening to my parents talk about my future as if they understand. I guess it means I’ve been doing a good job of feigning satisfaction in my life, because whenever they talk about me, they mention how I’m “just not interested” in relationships. That marriage is something I’m “just not into.” That I’m “not really a fan of the dating thing.”

Honestly, I’m glad I come off this way to them. Makes me seem less depressing. But every time I hear it, it just hurts a little bit more.

This isn’t my choice, guys. It’s just that no one wants me.
