All day today I felt good. I got a good night’s sleep and I got up and took my shower early. There are reasons to smile.

I know sometimes people used to say it’s man’s world but that is changing a lot. I hope the next generation of women will be better off and kind of be able to say it’s 50/50.

In my mid-30s I met a handsome Indian man online and we had a nice relationship. We became friends. I loved the intimacy of us holding hands and walking together and going out on dates. I want to meet somebody else and try again to form a relationship. I want to get married.
