I don't know where life will lead me

Living alone seemed to be the hardest part of being single. Sometimes I crave for that someone that I can share my dreams, my plans, my worries. I wish for someone to talk to when I get home or before I leave for work. But somehow, I can't get out of my past which made me lose trust in anyone who shows interest in me. When I was a kid, I've always wanted to have my own family, to build my dreams around them. But I'm almost 30 and yet still not sure where this life will lead me. It is confusing and difficult as I don't want people to think that I'm not happy at all. I realized its not easy to always pretend but I also know I won't be able to handle it if my friends or family starts asking questions. I wish I knew what the future holds for me. For now, all I can do was to keep praying and trusting God that He will show me what I'm meant to do here on earth before my time is up.

Im only 20 but i dont like being single either, i've only had 1 gf in my life. I would suggest though, that you need to be more proactive in looking for someone, they arent just going to come along and find you one day. You need to try to trust people, you are going to have to someday else you will just end up pushing any partner away. I think you have to risk getting that trust broken to form the sort of relationship you want. I hope you find what you're looking for.

Sounds like you just need that push, you have a job but is it your career? your almost 30 wish i could say that try divorced 3 kids and 3 dogs 1 cat and 3 chickens feels like I live at the zoo sometime I could go for one of you quite days, life is what you make it., get out there find what your good out and go for it, sounds like your a god fearing person, your single want to see the world get out a mission trip get involved, i learned this along time ago that god sometime just gives suddle hints not that big boom your looking for and then its gone... enjoy life you don't have any thing that hold you down the perfect time for a mission trip or to get really involved into church so much to offer in church, just a suggestion., life is to live so go do it! Have fun, enjoy it and be safe! davenport707

I've always wanted to go out and do something without thinking of what might the consequences be if I break the rules but I guess I'm too coward to do something

Join the group. You are like every other being on this planet. No one knows where life will lead them. No one knows what will happen in the future. The only thing one try is to hope for the best and try to work towards having a happy life.

Thank you. I tried to join several groups but at some point, I still end up being alone. Maybe I haven't found the right group for me.

I always try to let God do His will but there are times when I try to get it back and do something about it. I admit I lack patience

I guess sometimes I get to a point where I become self-centered, not thinking that other people has bigger and worse problems that I have. Thank you for the insight.
