single blessedness

ive first heard this word/ term from my tita who herself decided to stay alone (but not lonely) forever it was christmas eve of 2001 while we were both drunk because we left not even a single drop of the tequila cuervo that my brother in law gave me as his xmas gift. there w as no one but the two of us in our veranda and since its been so long since weve last seen each other we've spent the whole night sharing new chikas regarding what have happened to our lives. it started with her asking me about my plans after college and ended up with her stories and reasons why she decided not enter into realtionship with anybody. i still remembered her saying while crying that maybe there are just people who are meant to be single for life and that somebody up there blessed her with that gift .

tita lou was 42 years old then and i was in my fourth year in college.... i kept asking her i n fact ive insisted that she was just pretending to be happy and contented with her life denying the fact that what she really wanted was to be with someone... she smiled at me and told me that i will know in time!

i guess somehow i am beggining to understand her now....
