Why Doesn't He Love Me?

It is a little sad. No matter how far along any of us get in life everything comes back to the same thing... does he love me? I read once in the book EAT Pray Love that after natural disasters therapist often continue to get the same reaction from those who survived. This question is "does he love me?" it always about a relationship and as I sit here thinking about what lies ahead for me I cannot help but think just that.
I am graduating college in a year, I would love to be a journalist, but I have no job set. I would like to work for the "New York Times," I would love to go to grad school and get a masters in International Relations. I would like to do so much with my life and yet, whenever I tell people about my dreams they always ask me why there is not a man involved in this plan of mine.
I am single, and I always joke that it will be forever but I think that the real reasoning behind my fear, is that having someone in my life is something extra to be unsure about. I am currently living in a fear that I am not good enough to get a job. I look at my resume, and although long, I am afraid that I am not enough of what I should be at this point in my life. I have passed on my fear of rejection to my job, and I honestly refuse to allow the one thing that is stopping me from opening myself up to any guy be the same factor that stops me from doing what I want with my life.
I want to make great art with my life. I want to touch people with my words and allow my words, my experiences to have an impact on the life of another person. I want to have the power to move people but I am slowly realizing that I cannot in any way impact others the way that I want to unless I can allow my words to impact me and move me into following my dreams.
