Dear Nicola, it's hard to stay positive about being single when life is on pause.

Hello,

By the time you’re reading this we may have gone into a full lockdown! I am single and I love my single life when I’m able to go out and see friends, but I’m so scared of feeling lonely again during lockdown.

I hate it when my friends complain about having to look after their kids during lockdown because even though I live in a flatshare, the last lockdown I felt so lonely. I also want kids, but don’t see when that’ll happen, especially with life feeling on pause.

It’s just really hard for me to stay positive about being single when I feel this way and I can’t face another winter of it.
