As you can gather from my previous blogs, or if you’ve met me, you know… I don’t compare my life to other peoples’. My life is just that… it’s mine and it’s unique. The same goes for all of us. Don’t ever gauge your success or happiness based on what your life is compared to someone else’s because you’d be doing yourself a great disservice. Figure out and then seek out what’s right for you…what works for you and makes you happy.

I cannot truthfully say that I worry constantly, 24/7 about marriage and the future as I’m portrayed to do. I’m not a desperate woman and I don’t have trouble getting a date. Like so many other single women…I just know what I want and I don’t need to have “filler guys” to date in between those that I really feel strongly about. Sure, I think about marriage, kids and the future and of course I wonder “When?”…. again, just like many other women do, but not in some panicked, obsessed kind of way. I think a big reason I don’t panic is because I have faith that there’s a reason that I didn’t even think much about it until I was at least 31. There are a lot of things that I’ve done, and have been doing that I may not have been able to had I been married with kids. Apparently there is someone perfect for me that I haven’t met yet and so I’m glad that I didn’t go ahead and make that leap before the “one” was put in front of me. It’s a big world out there, I can’t just expect that he should have shown up when I was 22.

I love to see my friends happy. That’s what being a friend is…truly reveling in their successes,milestones and happy times. When a friend gets married…they’re happy, which makes me happy. The same goes for when they begin to have babies, land a great job or snag a great deal at a sale. I’m a true friend to my friends, so I’m truly happy when they’re happy. And the same is true in reverse.

Ahhh, Dre’s advice to “Go forth young woman and be the aggressor”… haha. I love Dre. You didn’t see it in that brief scene but that guy is really funny. He’s a very good college buddy of mine. I think he was saying that to challenge me a bit because he knows me and he knows that I’m not typically the one to ask a guy out. I don’t have some big aversion to that.. I mean, I’ll flirt with a guy if I’m interested but I wait and let him ask me out. I dunno, maybe I should start doing that more. As a matter of fact, mark my words…I will.

Karate was a lot of fun. I do kickboxing regularly which incorporates many of the same moves, but had never actually applied the movements to a “combat” situation…(haha, that just sounds funny.) Anyway, I haven’t been back yet but I will one day. You know, I had no idea that those blocks of wood that you see people breaking with their hands and feet are not solid wood??? They’re just this lightweight stuff that, although I had to kick hard, snapped in half when I did! I was scared to death when they wanted me to kick the thing that I was going to break my foot! The didn’t tell me it wasn’t like, solid oak or something. And given that I thought it was, I’m not sure what I was thinking to just go ahead and kick! It was pretty cool though…
