It’s late, you’re lying in bed, scrolling online, and then you see it. You get the sinking feeling in your stomach. But you also instantly feel a tinge of guilt for being upset. What did you see? Another friend of yours just got engaged. This heightens your realization that you feel alone and really want to be married, but you are also happy for your friend. A swirl of emotions clouds your mind and you say to yourself, “I don’t know how to feel about this. Maybe I’ve just missed my window. Maybe everyone else will get married, but I’ll always be the single person in the group.”
