I brought in the New Year with the people who mean the most to me. Being able to spend New Year's Eve with my family was the best. Memories were made that I will remember for the rest of my life, and my hearing is still recovering after the 9 minute long "blowing of the party horns" as soon as the clock struck 12:00.
For this post, I'm probably going to offend people. I'm not trying to do that though. I'm hoping to reach people. Mostly women, and girls my age. I'm not pointing fingers, I'm not calling anyone out, I'm just sharing what has been on my heart for quite some time.
Womeeennnn. I'm pretty angry. No, wait...I'm disappointed. Kinda sad as well. Since when did being single become a bad thing? SO many girls are SO dependent on a guy, or a boyfriend, or just attention.
Guy after guy, boyfriend after boyfriend, heartbreak after heartbreak, dying for their attention. Why?
I've observed (which makes me sound like a creeper) some of my friends, or some of my friends of friends who's situations are honestly pathetic. I kid you not, a girl told me that in the year 2010 she had had 5 boyfriends & was only single for 6 days of the year. Is it wrong that I had no response for her, other than a shocked expression on my face?
Or...should I mention that I have a friend who just got out of a 2 year relationship and she's already on the prowl for another boy-toy.
Now let me say that most of these girls are "in love". They have, "never met anybody like him" before. They're going to get married, and let's not forget the famous "I've never felt this way before."
Really? I don't buy it, girls. You've dated him for...a month? And you love him?
Ohhhh, but wait...he says he loves you...after...a month of dating? Well if we figure that into the equation...
No. I still don't buy it. Let's be real for a minute.
Alright, having a boyfriend is great. Dating is a lot of fun too. Getting to know someone & flirting is the best. But they're all good, in moderation. Whenever I'm becoming obsessed with guys and stressing over every little moment of my life because of them...that's outta control.
We're teenagers. And some of the girls that I've talked to are in their younger teen years! We've got awhile till serious relationships become something we start to worry\think about. Girls strive for a guy to want them, to call them gorgeous, to buy gifts for them, and to make them feel special. That's not a bad thing...but like I said...it's became insanely obsessive within today's generation. My generation...and I'm not proud of it.
I have a Heavenly Father who loves me more than anything. He thinks I'm precious, and beautiful, and one of a kind. He's always there for me, throughout everything. He listens to me cry, and when I'm feeling like I'm worthless, He holds me in his arms.
How could I want anything more?
Yes, I'm guilty of focusing on a guy or a relationship waaay too much. I'm also guilty of wondering why I've been single for a period of time I don't like to mention. Haha.
So, with bringing in the New Year, there always comes resolutions or goals. This year? I'm looking at single as a good thing. Each day I'm closer to the person God has intended me to be with. Why rush it? Why put myself in these endless relationships with cycles of heartache? So.Not.Worth.It.
With that being said, ladies, you have a Heavenly Father who thinks you are the bomb. You're the prettiest most amazing person that could never be replaced.
Don't settle, don't think you're insignificant, don't sell out.
Keep it classy, girls.
