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."
