Available Now: What If We Never Get Married?
A happily ever answer
Last week I published my second book, and I’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has already shown it support. If you’ve purchased the book, or simply shared it on social media, thank you for being a part of necessary narrative change for singles.
*If you can, please leave the book a rating & review on Amazon. Ratings and reviews do genuinely make or break authors, especially self-published, independent ones. I hate it too, these are the times we’re in, and I genuinely do need your help.
What If We Never Get Married? A happily ever answer.
With book two, it was important to me to focus on one extremely important topic: The future. How long have you been hearing that “don’t die alone” bullshit? This book asks a very real question, because for the first time, “dying alone” is no longer a threat to keep single women settling, it is a natural outcome of living a life on earth. Our single lives don’t deserve to be followed around by a dark cloud of fear, a fear that pressures us into settling for men who make our lives worse than they were when we were single. There are more single people now than there have ever been. We have to ask ourselves “What if we never get married” so that we can see the answer isn’t so scary at all. We get to do more than fear the future, especially because if you think back, I bet you were scared of today once, too.
They threatened us with spinsterhood, with dying alone, with urgency. They made us think if we didn’t hurry up and settle for someone, we’d never have anyone at all. Here’s the thing: We actually might never have a partner at all. Is that really enough to stop you? Are you going to let that ruin a life that already belongs to you? Or are you going to face the idea (not the certainty!) the idea of being “alone forever” and refuse to let it rule your choices? A life guided by fear is so much worse than a life that faced it, and discovered there wasn’t actually anything to fear at all.
Loves, we will never know when never is, but we really might never get married. That has to be okay with you. I think it’s the only way to live happily for all the days we’re lucky enough to be alive. If this is a hard concept for you, that’s okay. That’s why I wrote a book about it. I hope it helps. That’s all I have ever wanted to do.
