Life is crazy…work has been insanely busy…and turning 25 is way more depressing than I thought it would be.
Happy Birthday, me!
Yes, it’s been over a year since I’ve begun the documentation of my single life. I planned on writing something pithy and creative for my 365th day, but since my quarter-life-crisis kicked into full gear on October 9th, I didn’t really have time, nor the energy, passion or desire, to write anything.
However, since I’m a fan of the ever, clever List. Here is one that’s all about some of the things I learned the past few hundred days…
- Kayaking – Who could forget my kayaking adventure? Refusing to wear a wet-suit in the freezing American River, in the middle of March, followed by my tipping catastrophe a mere 30 seconds after getting in my boat. Oy, vey!
- Politics – I love people. I heart social justice. I hate politics. I know this really perturbs some of my readers (who leave various comments quite freely), but I have adopted the great annoyance of apathy.
- Whitewater Rafting – Super fun! Would definitely do it again! Might need to pump some iron beforehand, though. I think my arms were limp spaghetti limbs for a week after I went!
- Speed Dating – Just…say…no.
- Online Dating – Again…just…say…NO!
- Being Single Kinda’ Sucks! – Honestly, it’s true. I love being able to drive down to Orange County for a spontaneous weekend or dance around my living room in my underwear (Naked Tuesdays!) but, being alone, having to RSVP without a guest, and constantly going on first dates that rarely lead to a second is quite discouraging.
So, here we go…another year. Man, that sounds depressing.
I really am happy! I be rockin’ it!
After all, you married people don’t got Beyonce…
25 is nothing! I’m turning 30 in June.
That’s cool that you went whitewater rafting! I really want to try it.
First, I totally *love* that you have a blog. LOVE it. I also love what your blog is about.
I’m sorry that you’re down about being 25. I understand how discouraging being single can be. Trust me. ALL of my closest friends are happily married. Living in nice homes, taking trips to Hawaii. Wait, I was trying to cheer you up. lol.
My point is that this is an amazing time in your life. One I didn’t get to experience until recently. (and even so, mine is so different being that I’m old and I have kids)
The freedom you have to live your life the way you want, without having to ask another person, is just awesome. Go, live, and have some amazing adventures. Be young. And before you know it, you’re special someone will be there.
I got a tiny heart tattoo recently on my right wrist. I saw a quote that inspired me to get it. It says “YOU are the one you’ve been waiting for.” And that it soooooo true.
Chin up. You have another amazing year ahead of you.
Glad to know you.
Thanks, ladies!
Actually, being 25 is pretty great…I’m finally at a point where people assume I’m a “grown-up” solely based on my age (which is clearly a misnomer…last night, I snuck into a movie. Haha!)
Needless to say, my “Debbie Downer” negativity was taken out back and shot on site. Only optimism from here on out.
Thanks for reading! Glad you’re enjoying the new posts!
