I'm 42. I've cohabitated and even been engaged. Apparently, I'm too ambitious and goal-driven... My biggest haters have been the men I've dated.
...I should never follow other people's dreams or feel obligated to make theirs into mine. Since then, I have grown economically. I feel so amazing that...people secretly tell me they wish they had my life.
I've tried to be with ambitious and successful men, but they don't want to share their spotlight, and they drag me down, too.
I decided to stay single and spend my time with family and friends. I learn to enjoy life alone.
