Today, I’m at the age where I should be married or in a committed relationship and having kids. Instead, I’m STILL single. I haven’t had a first date or a first kiss. If any of that changes, luck and time aren’t going to be on my side because biologically I won’t be able to have kids. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm 20 years old and never been kissed. FML
Today, I got turned down by a woman I like because she said a man in his mid 30’s who’s not already married with kids is a major red flag. I would very much like to be married with kids but it’s just never happened. FML
Today, I'm nearly 30 years-old, and not only am I still a virgin, I've never even had my first kiss. FML
Today, I’m realising that at some point I should have just settled for the guys who were there, instead of waiting for the fantasy perfect guy. All my exes are happily married with grown kids, whereas I’m in my 50’s, never married, no kids or grandkids, and will probably die alone with my cat eating my face. FML
Today, I lost all hope of finding a man. I’m gonna be 34 and I can’t get a date to save my life. I was cursed with a facial deformity and 285lbs of weight, making all men run for the hills. All of my younger sisters have got married and started families. FML
Today, I've reached the age as a sexless loser where my family no longer tells me to find a "single lady" but rather a "single mother". Thanks for reminding me everyone else had fun in their twenties. FML
Today, after I was with my ex for five years before we split up because she didn’t want to marry, have children, or seemingly grow up at all, now a year later she has married some dude and is two months into their first planned pregnancy. I guess she just didn’t want to marry or have kids with me. FML
Today, I have always been adamant on not wanting children ever, then I did a stupid thing, and now I’m now single and pregnant with twins at 22 years-old. My life is so fucking over. FML
Today, I'm at the age where I'm supposed to be having the time of my life. I'm short and look so young that I get asked if I'm still in high school. Every girl I've ever known looks at me like a "little brother". The only girls who have shown interest are still too young to vote. I'm missing out on my 20s. FML
Today, I saw yet another dear friend from uni get married, living the good life in their new home. Here am I in my 30s, with no love life, and feeling like that's never going to be for me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ignore the “should be ...” voice in your head and focus on being happy all by yourself. The rest can happen whenever

Honestly, there’s more to life than that. You are in a somewhat better position in life because you are single and don’t have kids.

I hear this story differently if I imagine you as a homely 50-year-old or as a melodramatic 17-year-old drama queen.

Are you financially stable? That is still a huge accomplishment if you do. For kids, you can adopt, foster, or get sperm from sperms bank? Love can wait.

Have you tried dating apps?

If you want kids then have kids. You can get artificially inseminated. Your life isn't going to change if you just sit around waiting.

I know this sounds counter intuitive. but if you keep approaching this as something you "should" be doing, it will become a prison for you and all partys involved. focus on the joy. if you want to have kids, tell them when the relationship starts getting serious. enjoy your time my friend

okay lets break it all down then. 1. do you have a stable income? 2. Nice place to live? If yes to both of those then **** the norm and go adopt a child and start your own damn family. There are tones of children out there just looking for someone to love them and to create a family. So its not the traditional way, **** that. You haven't been kissed? It happens. I am sure the right person will come along but you don't have to be alone.
