I know this post is more about the time frame of a relationship, but the part that struck me was the bit about what if it were like a board game or a race?

I've been struggling so much lately with being single. So many of my friends around me are married, in a strong relationship, getting engaged, etc. I feel like I'm constantly reminding myself that it's not a game. Just because they appear to have it all together doesn't mean they win and I lose. Still it feels that way sometimes.
