Bio
Recently accepted to Lancaster University's Creative Writing PHD program (UK). I am doing things I never thought I would--not moving internationally--but asking people for money. My days are filled with being a mom, writing, teaching, living. By night I am my biggest fund raising advocate; completing scholarship entries to scholarships I'm not even sure are real; researching charities that fund education; and inquiring about resources and then asking for them. 40 really is liberating. Yvonne Battle-Felton is a graduate of Johns Hopkins MA in Writing program and a full-time-part-time instructor of English and Creative Writing at CCBC, AACC and UMUC. She resides in Maryland where she is in a perpetual state of shock over the intimacy of her personal essays and seriously considering pseudonyms.

I Do--Maybe

Rate: 0 Flag

Most of my friends, acquaintances, and family are in relationships of one kind or another with varying degrees of happiness and commitment.

I don’t envy them.

Still, as I prepare to date seriously—with the intent to commit (at least) to dating—I find myself reconsidering what I once considered spam.

Every two weeks I receive email about how to promote love and happiness in my marriage. Which would be great if I had a marriage I wanted to save.

Up until recently, I deleted these messages with regularity. Today, I pause before I click delete.

Would I—in the right circumstances—ever marry again?

I no longer know the answer. I don’t mind not knowing.

And, truth be told, I’m kind of glad I’m asking.
