Hello, All.
I have never been the relationship type. sure, I had a girlfriend in middleschool for 2 days, but that wasn't a
real relationship.
When I went to my first confession, my priest told me to preserve my chastity until I meet the one I'll spend the rest of my life with. He also told me that I'd know when I'd met that person. He also said:"
Unless it's your destined to become a monk"
today at school, we were doing Romeo and Juliett. We got a paper where we wright the qualities we'd look for in a "life mate". there was a flip side for our parents to fill out, on what qualities they hope we look for. I had to be honest. I put that I really don't want a "life mate", I just want to be alone (I'm not as pathetic as I sound, I assure you

)
the other guy were saying that a girl needs to have the right curves, know how to cook, etc. I really don't want a spouse, or a "life mate".
I have been doing alot of thinking. I wonder if I should be a monk, at least my love for religion and silence would fit in! But, as nice as it would be, I don't know if God wants me to take up a life of monasticism.
I really am starting to feel different from the others at school. I'm also wondering if I'd fit in more at a secular career or at a monastery.
some advice would be nice. I'm just pouring out my feelings

thanks, God Bless.
