<STRONG><FONT size=3>Have you ever noticed that dining room tables seat six,erght or twelve,but not seven,nine,or thirteen?I've been alone for my high school life,usually not thinking much of it account to that I studied in a boarding school.But on holidays even the place settings conspire against me,rendering a silent rebuke against my separate status.</FONT></STRONG>
<STRONG><FONT size=3> You can endure holiday dinners two ways if you live alone:1)Bring someone you dont particularly care for 2)hear the awful words" ull up an extra seat,"either a collapsible chair or one that is too high or too low for the table.Either strategy leaves you uncomfortable.</FONT></STRONG>
<STRONG><FONT size=3> Though I enjoy being a loner in the main,there have been times when I have worked myself into a mad frenzy looking for someone to fill a void I thought I couldn't satisfy on my holidays,I spent days with a few guys---I even engaged once,but "commuticate innocently"seemed a very long time.I was relieved to have holiday alone again.</FONT></STRONG>
<STRONG><FONT size=3> One day,nothing my frustration a friend of mine suggested we try something different on the next such holiday."How about chatting with friends on the net?How about meeting someone outside by chance?"she proposed.The next holiday I found myself on the line,chatting with someone.I started sharing happiness and unhappiness with others,or exchanging the experience in study or other tings just like in our warm English family.</FONT></STRONG>
<STRONG><FONT size=3> "There is room at the table for a party of one.And sometimes justsone is the perfect fit."i cant remember who told me that.Maybe sometimes it will be right.Well,you are all my friends,our family do give me terrifically confidence and warm.Not only the useful knowledge,but also the kind and hearted friends here.So I know that a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances,but rathet a person with a certain set of attitudes.</FONT></STRONG> |
