single

I love being single. I love it so much. I love it too much. I know we're supposed to be dating and getting married, but it bums me out that so many girls are so focused on marriage and not really enjoying being single. Comments in Relief Society tend to revolve around marriage, with topics such as faith (that you will get married some day), trials (still being single), and talents (cooking and such- the ones "needed" for marriage). It seems like people are waiting for a relationship or marriage to make them happy. My opinion is that you can't find a way to be happy while you're single you won't magically be happy as a married person. I think I personally will mourn the loss of my single days.

Of course I want to have that awesome relationship/marriage where you want to talk all the time and do everything together, but right now I am loving just being me! I love doing whatever I want whenever I want. I love being alone and doing things alone. I can't imagine spending SO MUCH TIME with another person. I can't imagine wanting that. I have my own schedule. I like to go to zumba at night or watch TV with my friends or just do homework. I like to read before I go to bed and unwind with some more alone time. I get to make my own plans for my life and not worry about fitting around someone else's plan. I love all of this stuff. I'm so happy and comfortable on my own. Like I said, I may love being single a little too much. The guys I go out with are generally pleasant and nice and . . . fine. Maybe that's just my disinterest talking, but really. I can't sustain a dating situation more than about three dates before I lose interest. But here's the deal. I don't see why I should try to sustain something I'm not really interested in. At some point I may need an attitude adjustment, but right now I am going to enjoy the peace and contentment of my single life, free from the disruptions and frustrations of men. {Happiness}
