NO LOVE NOVEMBER

The holiday season is upon us, and it’s nothing like the holidays to remind you, 

you are Oh. So. Single.

Remember in my about me, when I said I’d chat about it’s ok to be single in your semi-mid twenties? Well, here I am, following through…

If you’re anything like me, the thought of seeing one more friend on facebook get engaged is going to send you right over the edge; the edge of that cliff I mean.

It’s like some sick joke the world is playing on you, right?

WRONG!

Easier said that done, but you can’t let it get you down.

Life goes on, whether you’re single or not. So why sulk about it when things could be so much worse?

Yep, it sucks not having that little jewelry box under the tree. And yes, it sucks when your fam keeps asking if you are seeing anyone, and you want to respond with, “Yeh, lots of anyone’s – Jim, Jack, Jose….”; but you just shake your head firmly and change the subject back to how cute the little ones are.

At my age, my sister was planning her wedding, which is kind of depressing, considering I don’t even have a backup to plan a faux wedding. But honestly, as I was being filmed - toasting myself in the corner of her wedding reception with two champagne glasses, I was toasting myself to find someone who made me as happy as her new hubby makes her.

So when you’re feeling blue, remember it’s worth the long agonizing wait, rather than settling just because you need someone to feel the void.

Take the time to figure out what makes yourself happy, and to bond with your friends.

I’m probably definitely giving myself a pep talk here; but seriously, when your enjoying that free drink the cute boy at the bar bought you, bask in the attention and stop making yourself think he is going to father your children. 

More likely than not, you’ll never see him again.
