I guess it is traditional to start out with a cheesy/cliche post. The D word. The most devastating thought for those of us who are single. Dating.
I don't know about you but I love people watching. Watching those super clingy couples everywhere is getting pretty obnoxious but it is some how cute at the same time. The only problem with that is, it reminds me that my social clock in the Mormon world is clicking. In the words of many, because I am ohhh sooooo old at the age of 21, I will probably be the next Sheri Dew. The reality is that I have accepted my act of singleness and have gone to do better things with my life. Going out and volunteering to rescue animals, to work with others has made my life more complete than anything ever has. So guess what world, stick it. I love my life.
I don't mean that to sound negative, I just don't like being told what to do. I do want to get married some day and start a family but my time is just not yet. As I have grown older and somewhat reflected about my life, I have realized that all of those times I thought I was in love, I wasn't. I really just liked the idea of being in love. As I have realized that over time it has probably made me look bitter, I am not. I am just waiting for someone with enough spunk to come in and show me that I have been wrong. So if you are out there, please feel free to show me the other side.
^I think this is as openly cheesy I will ever be able to get for now...
I love the whole thing. First, i respect you that you have chose to put your life first and do what you want to do rather than conform to the Mormon stereo-type that Mormon women get married right out of high school. Second, the dating thing... i know what you mean you see a couple all over each other. I think for me i was in that place and i know how it feel but now that im not that way its a bit repulsive :) I say GOOD JOB FOR YOUR FIRST BLOG
