I said I was going to blog 5 months ago and I never did... I had some inspiration tonight after dinner with my dad. My return back into the blogosphere(that's a word right?), here goes nothing.
As I near my 4 year anniversary of being single, I can't help but think back to the phrase my aunt so often tells me and that is " There is a lid to every tea pot." Something my grandma also used to tell her when she was growing up.
I was telling my dad tonight that maybe there just isn't someone out there for me, maybe i'm just destined to be single forever. In a world where we are always on the quest to find our other half and to live happily ever after, and to update our relationship status on Facebook. I am content experiencing life as an independent person. It's okay to be alone, to take up the whole bed at night, to stay in your pajamas till noon, and to buy that lululemon gym bag because you need something ridiculously colored like that for the gym.
I don't want my life to be a constant string of break ups ,makeups, one night stands, deleted pictures on my phone, relationship statuses that change weekly, and "sorry it's not you, it's me." Maybe I am selfish for wanting to experience what life has to offer before I settle down but we spend so much time searching for someone else, do we ever really take the time to know ourselves and be alone before we find that someone we'll spend the rest of our lives with?
So here's to 2014; the year that I will enjoy everything that life brings my way, to try new things, and to keep hanging onto the fact that sometimes it's okay to be alone.
Cheers : )
