As I mentioned a few weeks ago, this blog is entirely about being single (or the new PC term is unmarried) and all of the loves, hopes, dreams, setbacks, and joys that come with this life. As January draws to a close I realize something quite profound. I'm not the person I was yesterday or yesteryear. As I've written these blogs and contributed to other blogs and forums internet-wide, I've realized something rather fascinating. People are not content with their lives. They are searching, seeking, yet not finding that state of bliss they desperately want. Doing the same thing over and over is madness, yet we continue that quest to prove everyone wrong as if we've suddenly found the fountain of youth. Until you stop doing the same things and begin examining your paradigms and principles, then how can you fully understand self? As a dating "nobody" (I say that affectionately), I was constantly trying to figure out what it took to get into a satisfying relationship instead of being contented at the place God has for me presently. So when I shed that societal pressure and started living for Joy and for that great being higher than I, then I finally got the message which is how this particular blog came to be... 366 Days of Singledom...
We live in a society of rules and regulations. Do this by this age. Be married with kids by 30. Pay your taxes by April. Take this med for this ailment. Taking the road less traveled - the unconventional path - takes courage. I'm not saying don't pay your taxes, I'm saying you write the story of your life. Find contentment in the unknown. You don't have to know the answers; just be willing to learn and recognize the lesson in every day of life.
