I am a 34 y old female (In this day and age I should say cis heterosexual female). I normally love listening  podcasts, reading and swimming but I met a man and he seems to take up all my time. I think of him often and I hate people that randomly sing but I’ve found my self listening to hours of music and sending him songs I think he may like. 

Dear *favourite column* when he start to sing I join in (something I usually find very annoying) and the other day I was horrified that I not only recorded but proceeded to send him a voice note of me singing TO HIM! 😩

Please help. I’m not sure what’s happened to me. I’ve even started apologizing when I’m wrong, I’m never wrong but something about him makes me reconsider. 

Could this be what they call love?

With love from hater of musicals and all things too cute and mushy

Our fathers have passed

Our fathers have left

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers stood tall

Now the world says we should be ashamed

O no, that I will not do

I will not feel shame about the one that raised me, raised me against all odds

O no definitely not, for I know that woman is a queen

O no I am not sorry, I am not ashamed I was raised by a single mother

Our fathers have failed

Our fathers are gone

Our mothers have tried

Our mothers have stood tall

What makes you nervous?

My thoughts my me nervous at times. Am I enough? Was I too rude to that person? Do people like or tolerate me? Will I find love? What do they realllyyyyy think? Is global warming really “real”? Is what I am eating healthy? Why did I eat that? Who should I call? Is my dog ok? Do I make enough money? What is happiness? Do I read enough? Am I working hard enough? Am I podcasting enough? Is anyone listening? Do I sound stupid? Why am I so nervous? Should I be scared? How should I answer this prompt?
