It was January 27, 2008 when first published a post on this blog, dedicate to the expose of what being NEVER MARRIED NO KIDS WAS ALL ABOUT. Though this blog has been changed visually a few times, it has always been consistent about the INTENT.
I asked this question :
WHO ARE WE?
Are these just STEREOTYPES of the NMNK?
INDEPENDENT, TOO INDEPENDENT, DEPENDENT?
HERMITS, FEMINISTS, VIRGINS?
DIFFERENTLY-ABLED, ECCENTRIC, SPOILED, SELFISH?
CELIBATE, REPRESSED, SWINGER?
STRAIGHT, BENT, GAY, BISEXUAL, QUESTIONING?
PRIESTS, NUNS, MONASTICS?
SPINSTERS, CONFIRMED BACHELOR, LONERS?
For me personally, there have been times when I was put on the defensive that having this blog to write was helpful. I do hope that posts that I made in the past have helped some of you determine where you fit in this... by CHOICE or by FATE. I hope some of you have realized YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
For those of you who have married and had children, I hope that finding this blog has helped you gain some understanding and empathy
In order to celebrate this event, I have gone through those fifteen years of posts to find the "Best Of." I've taken down some of the earliest years of the blog that appeared in 2008 through 2012 in order to feature these posts in the present. So for the next 60 days there will be a a whole lot of posting.
Thank You for Coming By!
Sister
