For my last birthday, a friend gave me this book titled “Love Smart… find the one you want– fix the one you got…” And it explains that you can’t just wait for some Prince Charming to just come galloping down from the horizon and sweep you off your feet. You have to have a mental picture of that person you want to spend the rest of your life with, know what you want in a person, and picture yourself finding that person.
Well my picture is kind of blurred around the edges.
The downside of being single for so long is just getting to be good at being alone. I never thought I would be saying this, but I am really enjoying my independence and the fact that I can rely on myself for anything. Of course, I love my friends and it’s always good to have people around you that you can call on if you need help. But the good thing of being by yourself is that you have no choice BUT find a way to solve problems on your own.
And after a year, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Sure, sometimes you get that feeling of longing to be in a meaningful relationship, especially since all of the people around you are either getting engaged, married or adding tax deductions (a.ka. kids, hehehe…). But right now, this is how it is, and it isn’t so bad.
Maybe I’ll get to zoom in on that picture soon, but meanwhile, I’ll be just fine.
