Another birthday and still single...
For most of my teenage years and my 20's, each coming birthday was another reminder of how I was still single. Simple sayings such as " sweet 16 and never been kissed" would just reinforce that I was still single. Something changed on last year's birthday. I didn't cry. I was excited about my life. I realized, with the help of my Savior, that being in a relationship did not determine how I lived my life. I needed to start living, really living in the present. Do I still have hard days with being single? Of course, I am only human. But they are fewer and less intense. This past year has been a year full of heartache and growth. This blog was one of the fears that I overcame. The fear of being OK with saying "I am simply single."
