Description
Amy's Diary:" At the park, in the mall, on TV, in the train, at the bus station, at work...I see love in the air. I see couples holding hands, holding each other close, a hidden kiss which I spot out of the corner of my eye, laughing together... They always seem so happy, it is like nothing else matters in the world for them except each other and the feel of their hands upon one another, or their eyes locked to one another.
" Shopping was a pain for me...I am alone; single and looking. I see couples of all shapes and sizes, same sex or both, holding hands and laughing together. They enjoy their time together. Shopping is an adventure for them, a chance to shop and buy something together, or treat one out to dinner because they love each other. I see couples with large shopping bags filled with stuff while I walk out with a small 'take-away' bag.
" Maybe it is just me. Maybe I am too different. Maybe my appearance keeps others way; wrong impressions by just looking at someone. Yet, that also happens the other way with me. I try to meet someone, but always in the back of my mind, I think ' This guy must already be taken. He is cute and attractive. He must have someone, so why do I even bother getting to know him more...? ' I get that feeling all the time.
" It is hard to find a good single person in the city. It is hard to find someone you can agree with and feel comfortable with, someone you can be yourself with instead of mask yourself off completely. I feel like everyone is taken and I am the left over..."
I want that... ยฉ 2008 Alex Cockburn

I have to agree with this picture, even to this day, most of my friends are married or taken. As the years go by and I attend cons or event with friends I find that single people with my interest are fewer and fewer.
This image and what this person is feeling is very heavy and there are many people who can relate, but it seems we are lost in the dark to find each other.

Wow, that was interesting.
Sometimes I get that feeling too. Except I'm a dude and the girls are taken

I have that. I have the happiness spent with another, blissful in each others arms. But sometimes I feel more alone with her, than if I were single. I don't have as many friends as I did, and I don't have as much time going out as I'd like. When I do, with her, people I do meet find it harder to bond with me, and new friendships don't grow. My point is, Sometimes, when I look out the corner of my eye to the person sitting on their own, I envy the thoughts and time they can spend on their own.

Hm...really saddening story to that...I use to feel like that before I got confidence with who I am with now...if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have opened myself up with others and just in general still listen to that subconscious voice that says "This is a waste of time, why bother..." I learned through him that you know, some shit is scary out there, especially when it comes to anything relationship wise...I mean hell sometimes whatever happens even before the start of one can throw you off ya feet and make you wanna stay down...but you know...it can't be that way forever...Gotta work out no matter what, at least somehow.

Maybe a little (or well, much) late, but must comment.
Yeah, topic used in this, is something what much of us have passed through. Always there is a moment when we need some of love.
Sad history, but true for much people.

I think that is the hardest thing. Let your subconcious deside if you like that person or not your concious. Dont actually look the subconcious is working on it like a problem searching for the answer anyway, so make friends by doing things together such as shopping,the closer you get.
For me, my relationship i have had for six years and going, is made of being best friends plus more! least thats how its worked out for me.
Best of luck to you my friend

I have the same feelings as Amy. I feel that I do look attractive and I am single and looking but when I meet someone that seems like we could be a great couple they are either taken or some other factor steps in to mess things up. And nowadays it has gotten to the point that things in my past make it so that I don't really want to find someone. People in my past have hurt me and I have hurt others. but it all comes down to the fact that when I'm looking for someone to date no one is ever completely available =*(

Everyone, in more or lower scale needs somebody to be with, sometimes you can't notice it, or sometimes the person can misunderstand the feelings and go away.
I think that you must be strong while the soul mate comes to you in a suddently and unnoticed way. And he/she will stay forever close to you.

great pic and i know what you mean i have pass this for a long time

great pic. I saw this and immediately thought, wow, I can totally relate to this. It happens on like a daily basis for me. couples are so (even if unintentionally) stuck up, so conceited, so oblivious. They take what they've got for granted, and do it right in front of you.
I wish I was part of a couple.

Mah~~~!
I feel like this all the time. Jealous of how lucky they are. I don't find anybody because people flee of me. And those who dare to come too near... I hurt then...

I think everyone has the same feeling more often than not but would never admit it as freely as you do. We all wander through life alone but for those brief flashes of love and life that others bring to us in our times of need. Then one day you will see the other half of your sould staring back at you from another's eyes and the pain will be gone and you will feel that click of connection and finally be whole.

Valentine's Day is like this to the extreme. Sometimes I just want to lock myself up in a room and never leave again on that day. Just wear black and sleep from the 13th through to the 15th.
I feel like this all the time, too. It's even worse when you're out with friends who all have their significant others and are absorbed by them, so you just have to twiddle your thumbs or distract yourself with a book or a game. At least until you can go home and cry about it.
Even worse is when you're watching the guy/girl you like be all cute/romantic/intimate with the significant other, knowing it'll never be you...

...oh my god. In this picture is a message I know too good...
I feel so for myself. I see the people on the street together. Shoping, walking, kissing, laughing... and Iยดm left behind
When I go to find someone too ive allways think the same way... Its intresting to see that message in a picture...

And there's probably someone looking at her and wanting what they believe is her freedom ... so it goes.
