So, I know quite a few women who are pretty much like this.

She's in her 30s, maybe 40s, messy bun, lives alone, probably talks to her cat a little too much,

and everyone kind of feels sorry for her.

However, the fact

that these people seem way calmer than the people feeling sorry for them got me wondering why

that idea bothers everyone so much.

And honestly, I think a big part of it comes from how we were raised.

Most of us grew up with one version of a happy ending.

You meet someone, you get married, you have kids, the end. So anything outside of

that gets treated like a waiting room, you know? like you're just sitting there until your real life starts

and in the story a cat is basically proof

that you've stopped waiting

which for some reason people find terrifying personally though i don't really buy it because

when you look a little closer at how these women actually

live the story feels really different take my older sister for example she's not married no kids

and her career is honestly going amazing like she is the person

i call whenever i have no idea what i'm doing with my life

and every evening after a long day at work

she comes home to two of the most chill adorable cats ever one is usually stretched out on the couch

and the other one wanders over like oh you're back cool

she makes herself some tea they climb into her lap

and that's the night every time i visit i get a little jealous

because she just looks so happy and so at peace you know

and to me that's that's the part people tend to miss being alone

and being lonely are two different things

so loneliness at least the way i understand it is

when you feel invisible even in a room full of people

being alone on the other hand can be really peaceful once you've made your space feel like home.

On top of that, taking care of an animal changes you in small ways you don't notice at first.

For one, you start waking up at the same time every morning because someone is yelling for breakfast.

Then you start noticing when they eat less or sleep in a wet spot and you worry.

You also learned patience since a cat will never do anything just

because you wanted to

and slowly without really meaning to you get better at looking after something i would even say

that at some point that something includes you okay

so back to what i'm saying what i find even more interesting though is the kind of love

you get from a cat it's hard to explain

but it's quiet it doesn't ask you to perform you don't have to be funny

or pretty or successful that day you can cry on the floor at 1 a .m

and they still just come and sit next to you

kind of judging you sure but staying away and

if you think about it a lot of people never get

that from another human they spend years trying to earn affection i think wanting a partner is completely normal

and i would be lying

if i said being single is always fun some days it's lovely

and some days it's just a lot you know weddings take holiday getting sick

and having to go buy your own medicine

so yeah both things can be true at the same time what i'm really pushing back on this idea

that your life is on pause until someone picks you the years

you spend single are real years you're building habits friendships a home

and a version of yourself you actually like that way

if a relationship does come along it gets to join a life that's already full nobody has to come

and rescue you from an empty one you know

so the next time someone says

you're gonna end up alone with your cats like it's some kind of threat maybe just smile

Honestly, a warm apartment, a little routine, something purring on your chest while you fall asleep, there are worse endings, you know?

And hey, if the right person does show up one day, great.

They'll just need to understand one thing, the cat was here first.

so i hope you like this video with my little lovely cat moon let me introduce

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
