The Spinster Diaries

My new Moschino Macdonalds Fries iPhone cover. It's a fake! I usually hate fakes but i can't justify 60 dollars for the real thing. TRUTH IS OUT!

I am the only girl amongst all girls i know that has no problem with being a spinster. I'm not looking forward to it or embracing it but i have absolutely no fear of being dubbed one and living the lifestyle. It's getting to the point where mum is questioning why i haven't ever dated anybody and why i show absolute no interest in getting male attention. Everyone else seems to care but me. I know, that IS kind of weird. I can't believe how little i care for boys. In fact, i think it's more triumphant to make more of them cry than to make them happy. Cruel, isn't it?
I just don't have any fear about it at all because i've always defined myself and placed my own independence and happiness above everything else in life. Sure i've looked to other people to ratify me, but i've never understood why certain women care so much about what guys think of them. If you ask me, it's more important what women think of you. Their the ones that you need to impress in life. They are the super cynical ones that don't give you a green card for wearing a low cut top.

I'm approaching my mid twenties and i know that there's still time to find someone. But i don't actively ever do anything about it. In fact, the spinster life sort of appeals to me. Living alone with a cat and peace and quiet all the time. It sounds awesome. Not having to account for anyone else but me and being able to call the shots all the time. In fact, what i desire even more than relationships is a career in writing. Where things happen and things go my way and I'm the star of it all. I was talking to my friend Nick yesterday after work and he said that every single successful person he knows is single ... and doesn't care. I feel very akin to their train of mind. I wouldn't care about love if i was winning. This is where i'm more masculine than feminine. I desire more to make my mark out in the real world. I like the traditional roles of men over women. In short, i want to be the breadwinner not the one baking it at home.

I feel like the role of the 'woman' and all that feminist stuff has come a long way. Now, it's OK for women to be spinsters. Well, more OK than it was decades back. However, there is still stigma attached to single women in their latter years. It's unfortunate that this is the case and how broad minded people are about relationships. Are we really all that simple to think that everyone is bound to find love and have a traditional life path? It seems like if you're not married by a certain age with children then there must be something inherently wrong with you. Life isn't that straight forward. Some people are different because we've all lead different lives.  I genuinely think i could be a spinster when i'm older, if i'm not one already.
