A Story A Day. Story 61 of 365: Single.

"I'm going to die alone." Irina realized, and she couldn't be more happy about it. She had been dating since she was fifteen, and after fourteen years she had given up. She was independent, a bit too much, and she always felt that the guys she was dating were hindering her freedom. So Irina decided to take things as they came, and not to try too hard. After her revelation she dated some guys occasionally, but the relationships would die off as they had started. She focused on the things she enjoyed: traveling and her work.

Irina became a famous professor, she would go wherever her work took her, having nothing tying her to a place. On her deathbed someone asked if she regretted never getting married. "No" she said "why would I? I've lived the life I wanted."
