To loosen her grip on childhood...but not to rush into adulthood before she’s ready, like so many do," wrote L. S. Kilroy of online magazine Minerva.

Although Dickinson was offered marriage at least three times, she chose to live alone for most of her life. Despite this choice, there were signs of both her regret and her embrace of singleness. “She cried herself sick, ‘that others and all in the world was in Possession of Children and friends and a house and homes while [she] was so odd as to sit here alone.’” To push away these thoughts, she told herself “no other place would to wean her from the distractions of early comforts”. Reflecting on a local newspaper in the summer of 1791, Dickinson wrote that an “old maid” who had died at the age of one hundred was given the status of “venerable”, which was a title she wanted to “live and die” by. Dickinson’s first proposal of marriage came in the winter of 1777 or 1778, through her long-time client Elizabeth Porter Phelps. Phelps’s father-in-law, Charles Phelps, was in search of a new partner after his wife died the winter before. The second proposal came in 1787 from an unknown person, however, no diary entries exist concerning the marriage proposal other than her minister's wife, Hannah Lyman, questioning her about “chang[ing] her name”.
