not long ago i was chatting with some friends online and i made a comment and it wasn't until after i hit enter and reread it that i stopped and really thought...
"i'm 35 and i've never been married!"
when i sat back and read that i thought to myself - i wonder if i had been told at 21 "you're going to be 35 and never have been married." if i would've believed them? probably not. in fact, at 21 i was on my way to marriage so let's go back even further. at 16, i never would've imagined being 35 and single!
then, i read it again and again then thought "what a loser!" would've been my feeling back at that age.
however, a few weeks have passed and now i've had loads of time to think about that comment.
"i'm 35 and i've never been married!"
there are so many positives that come along with being a single 35 year old. i don't sit around and wonder where my prince charming went. i don't watch chic flicks and think "where is my knight in shining armor?". there isn't much compromise happening in casa de raisingkane... it's my way or no way! and that's the way i like it. (admit it, you're now singing - that's the way.. uh huh uh huh.. i like it!) in fact, the only time of my life when i think "crap, i wish i had a dude around" is during the times when i need the ice scrapped from my windshield or if there is something wrong with the Jeep or house and i long for a handyman hubby.
i could list example after example of the positives of being single but it's not necessary. single or married happiness is what matters...and i'm actively working on my happiness, and for that reason alone, i'm far from a loser that is 35 and has never been married.
enjoy your tuesday. the demon leaves tomorrow - i hope they have great camping weather!
