When I was single one of the most annoying questions I would get was, "Why are you still single?" Um, let me get out my crystal ball and give you that answer. Seriously? "Well you are the perfect catch." Why yes, yes I am. Could the answer possibly be that I am not looking for anyone and the right person just has not come along yet? I mean, me being single was something that I was completely okay with. I even told more than one person, I have a great life, wonderful friends, a great job, I own my own house, I have animals who love me, I am really not looking for anyone. The right person will come along when they are supposed too and if they do not, that is okay too. I had come to grips that I would never be a mom but I would be the most amazing Aunt EVER! I took that job seriously. I babysat my friends kids and truly enjoyed having them in my life and watching them grow and love me as if I was related to them. I dated but never really found someone who got me. And well I am a handful, so if you do not get me then you will never be able to last around me. Yes I know I am a handful, my husband teases that he just holds on and enjoys the ride and hopes he doesn't fall off. He is a brat!
When I was single, I did have standards, as when I lowered them I almost got married to the wrong person for the sake of getting married. That was one mistake I never wanted to repeat. I looked inside and kept improving on me. I found out what made me happy and became a better person. I never let those people who asked me or their daughters, 'why I was still single' get to me. It was none of their business. I am a firm believer in fate and that all things happen when they should. It happened for me when I least expected it.
Never let someone make you feel guilty or less of a person because you are single. Enjoy your single hood, embrace this time, learn about yourself and what makes you happy. Be happy and be happy alone. I promise all that should happen will fall into place at the right time, whether it is you finding the one and living.. some days happily ever after, or if it is you being the best Aunt ever! Either way, you will find your destiny!
