So readers, here it is: I am single.
Yes. And I have been for some time now. And you know what, I am happy. Very happy in fact!
Now, I am not against relationships or marriage or any of the lovely dovey stuff. One day, I do want to get married and have a family, but that day is just not today and I. am. okay. with. that.
So, friends, family, and friends of family members, please stop feeling the urge to set me up with every single man you know under the age of 30. Or to talk with me about them. Or tell me how cute he is and show me tons of pictures on your iPhone. Your friend/son/cousin/boyfriend’s best friend who is a fly fishing instructor in Minnesota is sure to be a good catch (my Aunt actually mentioned this guy last night and yes, pun intended), but let’s be real. I teach in Texas. What is the point of discussing all of the men in far places? Or really this place for that matter!
Is it not okay with the world for a 25 year old to be single and happy? To not be actively seeking a relationship right now? To, GASP, be okay providing for myself and figuring out my life? I am super picky and I know one day I’ll meet the stud muffin of my dreams, fall in love, get married and ride shining white unicorns into the sunset, but that time is not now. Please stop butting your nose into my business.
Never!!!
Thank you. 🙂
Love, puppies and butterflies,

lol when you get to my age they just stop bugging you entirely because they’ve lost all hope. I haven’t, but I’ just so bad about online dating.
Haha. I know it’ll happen eventually. I’m in no big rush yet.
HA! I’m just digging the gif here.
I met my husband using okcupid. No joke. I wasn’t really looking. In fact, I was dating several others at the time (not seriously…)! So, I’m a big believer that you’ll find love when you least expect it. Being forced in to it is not going to help anyone, let alone your self confidence.
You do you, girl!
Haha, thank you! (And isn’t Amy Poehler the best?!) I agree with that– most of my married friends met their husbands when they weren’t looking for it! It’ll happen one day, but I’m not ready yet!
