Years ago, my mother went to a fortune-teller, who looked at a photograph of me and told my mom that I would have many boyfriends and an active dating life. I would marry when I reached the age of 21.
Upon hearing this, I laughed and shrugged it off. I thought, How the hell am I going to snag lots of boyfriends when I am so damn shy? And the part where I will supposedly marry by the time I am 21...that was even more uproarious.
As it turned out, I did NOT have many boyfriends.
Hardly, hardly, hardly...if you only knew.
Shyness kills your chance for a social life.
However...
I DID meet and marry M. when I was 21 years old.
So...you know...very cool.
