Seriously though! I have a talent. I am really good at being single, so good that I have more or less accomplished it for the last 22 and 1/2 years of my life. I mean I have had a thing here or there but I would never say that I have had a serious or committed relationship. Not by any means. I wish I could say that is by choice and it's because I am a strong, independent women that don't need no man, but I would be lying to myself and the world if I said I thought that was 100% true.
I am a strong and independent women but I believe that men and women have a place in each others life and that marriage between a man and women is lovely and I would love to experience that some day ... when my prince comes ... after he finds his phone and plugs into the GPS directions to "an amazing, strong, independent women who would love to spend the rest of her life with a great, inspiring man that will work in partnership with her to achieve greatness in their home and community." Is that asking too much? haha So this all spurred from the flurry of engagement posts on my news feed. So many announcements! 'Tis the season right? Then again I feel like my newsfeed is always full of announcements so I am not quite sure when this season ends or begins. I am starting to feel like poor Jane in 27 dresses, except I don't have dresses I am collecting from weddings instead I just have a bank statement of all the money I am spending on bridal and wedding gifts. I have these moments of panic when I think, "oh my goodness I am going to be single forever and have 12 cats to keep me company and replace my need for children," and then I remember that I am 22 ... all is well, I have plenty of time. My breathing returns to normal and I start to think of all the positives of being single right now and how insanely good at it I am. It's a confidence boost, really! Right now I am a senior in college with a hectic and crazy schedule and a lot to look forward to in my future. The future looks bright my friends and I am tremendously excited! First off, I have amazing friends and we get up to all sorts of mischief and fun. Secondly, I just got accepted into the London internship program and so I get to go home for the summer to complete my internship. And that is going to be a blast! Last Sunday at church, one of my youth leaders and I were talking about marriage and what not and she gave some amazing advice. She said it would happen when it happens and to enjoy the journey now. There is so much that we can do now and being married is great, but being single is great too. Mr. or Mrs. right will come into your life when you least expect it and it will be wonderful. I loved that! When you are single you can go were you need to go and do what you need to do and there isn't as much responsibility. Right now is a great time to become who you want to become, work on being your best self. I mean be open to possibilities but do you! So my single friends who have their news feeds full of engagement announcements and wedding photos, fear not you are not alone! And enjoy this time you have now to work on becoming the best you. Your time to get married will come soon enough.
