Do not watch Nicholas Sparks if you are single

The roommate and I are in similar relationship status's.
Single that is.

And we have this bad habit of watching hopelessly romantic movies
Such as those based on Nicholas Sparks chick flick novels.
Which is really bad because neither of us have gone on a date in about 2 months.

And as pointed out to me as one of my section members in band, i'm apparently a one date kind of girl.

So watching something that is overly romantic and makes your heart strings twinge is not good for all of us single women to watch.

My friend Meaghan is also a blog writer, and she recently wrote a blog about being single and tall. Shes 6'2". And even though i'm not that tall I do feel her pain in a way.

That being single is seen as being odd. That something is wrong with you and that's why you are single.

When in reality, maybe at this time of your life you are just not ready for a relationship. Maybe it will just complicate things too much. Maybe the right person isn't around right now. Or maybe there's just a larger plan in order. Maybe being single right now is to remind you that its OK to be alone.

That sometimes connectivity is toxic. Sometimes you need to enjoy the silence. The solidarity of being who you are without being attached to another person.

Being in a relationship sometimes is like being addicted to your phone in a way. You always have to have it with you.You feel lost with out it. You need to feel connected to it. And its hard to be with out it.

Sometimes we need a detox from the drug that love can put us under.

That you shouldn't relationship hop. You need to be able to stay true to yourself. Know who you are before you try to bring another into your world.


But damn, I'd kill for a good date.
