My Thoughts on the Single Life

Calling all single women!!!!

This post is for you! I am single myself so don't go thinking, "Another post written for single women by a married/currently in a relationship woman!" Like most women I spend almost all my free time on Pinterest, and most pictures I see are engagement photos or love quotes. The only thing that runs through my mind is "I want that." And I'm tempted to run back to the guy who was no good for me. Why? Because it seems like EVERYONE is in a darn relationship, and I'm all over perfecting the third wheel persona. I have been doing that for years! (And just a little more background on me. I'm 20 and have only dated 2 guys. So I have had plenty of time from high school until now to go on plenty of third wheel dates.)
But the truth is being single is fun as all get out. You don't have to worry about stepping on anyone's toes when you say something before thinking about it. You also can sit at home in your pj's and no one will judge you. Oh and the best yet, the weekends are yours to do whatever you want!  Want to go to the beach this weekend? Pack up and go! No one is holding you here! Be free and go crazy! Stare at all the cute guys who drive by you while you are out doing whatever you do. Just have fun and live up the single life. Because when it's gone, it's gone.
It took me a while to figure that out. The 2 guys I have dated were not in the best situations. The first guy I dated because well I was at college and could do whatever the heck I wanted. The second one.... I dated him because everyone around me was in a relationship, and I wanted that so bad. That relationship didn't last very long. I'm waiting on my knight in shining armour  to show up. I'm tired of chasing after the jesters!

I will leave you with this quote though...
"Don't let loneliness drive you back into the arms of someone you don't belong with."
