“Sometimes all it takes is the wrong time of the month, a tactless comment, another question from someone asking why I am not married yet, to drive me into the pit of self-pity, regret, and introspection.”

“Back in those days women were just seen through the prism of their looks, their vital statistics, and their ability to be a homemaker and have children.
How things have changed. Not.”

“February fourteenth is just a day. February fourteenth is just a day. February fourteenth is just a day.
