Is Time A Wastin;? Is Life Passing Me By... I sure Feel like it!
So... I've been pretty "contented" lately with the hectic nature of my life- seriously, there has been little time for me to do much else than work and school related things and really if I think about it... my life has been a bit of a blur... and I'm a little nervous about that...
If my life is really blurry right now, I'm afraid that I'm not as ( Read more... )
First of all, I think it's great that you're silly and goofy, and I would never say you're awkward! There are plenty of guys who want silly and goofy instead of high-maintenance and predictable (which seems to be the norm nowadays).
Secondly, I remember feeling exactly as you do now. Even though I was younger, I felt like I was sort of running out of time to find a boyfriend or husband, like I was wasting the best years of my life alone.
But now that I'm married, I wish I could have been single longer. That probably sounds dumb, but even though I love Chad, I really miss being single and having the world at my fingertips, and my fingertips alone. I guess this is just my "I'm never happy with what I've got" thing coming back to haunt me, but I mean it. I wasn't happy being single, but now I realize how much fun I could have had if I'd just concentrated on the joy of being free to do whatever I wanted.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do or how to feel, but maybe it will make you feel better to know that finding your spouse may not make you as happy as you think. Being married is good, but being single is equally good too, just in a different way.
Maybe this is just me, maybe it's not. I just wanted you to know that I empathize with you. I have another friend named Sarah who just got married this summer, and she's 28...she felt much the same as you for a while, but now she's found the perfect gentleman and I know they're very happy together. I'm sure you will find the right man and get married in God's time, and you will be so glad you waited to find him!
