Because I Am Perpetually Single

​I feel like I owe you an apology.

Because I Am Perpetually Single
Huffington Post

I feel like I owe you an apology.
You see, I'm deeply flawed.

I probably won't ever trust you completely.
It's not personal; someone else broke me a long time ago.
I know I shouldn't make you pay for their mistakes, but I'm only human.

I do a lot of innocent flirting, but the moment you take it farther than I'm comfortable with; I won't speak to you for a while or even ever again.
It isn't because I don't like you, or maybe it is.
I just can't allow myself to be an object of sex ever again.
I refuse to put up with disrespect ever again.
My red flags go up the instantly and that a sign I need to leave.

I'm not going to sleep with you, and I'll never send you pictures.
I am more than what I do or won't do with my body.
If I ever feel pressure from you; I'll show you the door.

I know who I am and what I'm worth.
The second I have to question if you know or not is the moment you'll be gone.

I won't blow off my friends for you.
If you want to do something with me, I can't be a last minute thought.

I'm not sure if our relationship will ever grow or go anywhere.
I was married once and it was the biggest mistake of my life, and I never want to do that again.
Not that I didn't enjoy being a wife, but when you've given your best away there's nothing left to give.

I like my independence.
I love not worrying about being lied to, cheated on, or suffering from a broken heart.

I guess the bottom line is, I'd love to go to dinner and a movie, binge watch Netflix, and cook you dinner every now and then, but please don't expect anything more.

I got nothing left.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
