Marriage. Marriage is what brings me to blog, today.

Even though I am not considered "old" quite yet, sometimes I feel it. My bones ache on a daily basis, I find myself passing up sweets for granola, I shake my fist at 'melding kids' for driving to fast on the highway, and it seems that a vast majority of my friends are engaging in matrimony.

I broke up with my boyfriend of a year and a half about a year and a half ago (oh, the irony). When we ended our very serious relationship, I truly believed that I would be the first to bounce back. After all, I was the "strong" one in the relationship, and I was the one that was breaking up with HIM. However, irony decided to kick me in the pants about six months later when I learned that he got a new girlfriend. WHAT?! The confidence I once had in my flirtatious abilities completely left. Gone. Buh bye. I soon discovered that I happen to be amazingly awkward around the opposite sex, usually substituting creepiness for flirtation. And the saga continues.

However, though I am single, I am generally happy. I do complain quite a bit about seeing relationship statuses change due to a ring coming into the mix. I really am satisfied with being single, though. It gives me the ability to travel anywhere I want:) And I feel like it gives me a chance to be dependent on myself and become a better person for (hopefully) the future "Mr. Right." So, I say 'mazel tov' to all of my friends who are shopping for dresses and suits! Just make sure I get an invite ;)
