The Issue: Our Tiny Hearts

In a former post, Struggling with Struggling, I struggled to make my thoughts coherent:

"I'm unsure what the general problem is with young girls and their "struggle" with singleness [...] I truly believe it's a ruse, a blind -- a distraction from whatever it is that's going on."

I've recently received some confirmation of my suspicions. No doubt the "hidden" issue here is obvious to some but it wasn't to me.

The Daughter of Samuel Johnson

From the strange realm of Facebook I was treated to the following article, much to my dismay. You may want to go and read that in order to make any sense of the following post.

DISCLAIMER
In case you don't see it coming, I'm about to disagree with nearly everything this article has to say. When literature is misused, I get riled. Especially if the misuse of said literature is a gross misrepresentation of Jane Austen's novels. If you liked the aforementioned article, don't read this. Remember: this is a personal blog, I'll talk about whatever I feel like -- including my knee jerk reaction to articles like this.
