When Caroline and I were brainstorming sections for the blog, we had a ton of fun coming up with all our puns on "May" and "Day." But one section we didn't even try to cover was love and relationships. We never talked about it directly, but how could she share the details of her relationship with my brother? And how could I share all my dating failures with all our family and friends?
But, being single is currently a (hilarious) part of my life. So it seems a shame not to share some of the best (and worst) stories that go along with it. So I've decided I'll do just that. But first, some background:
One of my mom's biggest fears is that I'll end up alone. I'm 26, unattached, have a job with a bright future (if that's even what I want to be when I grow up), own a house, and am fiercely independent. But that doesn't mean I'll end up alone. In fact, I'm not alone now.
I have you, Mom. And Dad. And Mitch and Caroline. And my friends. I'm not alone at all.
Sure, there are times when it gets lonely. But there are also times -- in fact, most of the time -- when I get to do whatever I want. If I don't want to pick up the clothes off my bedroom floor, I don't. If I want to watch a Netflix marathon all weekend, I do. If I want to eat ice cream for dinner, no one questions it. If I want to lay upside down on the couch and make shapes out of the pictures on the wall, I can.
But ultimately, I'm not settling for that, either. I want the guy who eats ice cream with me for dinner. Who will lay next to me upside down on the couch laughing at my crazy schemes. I want someone to go on an adventure with. He's out there, I'm sure of it. Now show yourself!
