You may ask, what makes someone write about their trials of being single..I'm not exactly sure how to answer that. It's January 2, and I am sitting on the couch watching my team play the worse football that I've ever seen, well at least for a so called pro team. The holidays have ended. One thing I can say is at least this year....I survived. I survived Thanksgiving alone. I survived the Christmas season, not only did I survive it, I cooked most of the food for my family. I endured the comments that my cooking skills are more improved so perhaps soon I can start cooking for a man. I survived friends telling me that their boyfriends/husbands/fiancee's bought them jewelry, cars, electronics, clothes for Christmas, while I depend on my parents, yes parents, to buy me gifts..
Then there was New Years Eve, in which a good friend of mine was performing at a night club. I promised her I would hear her sing,so I went to a club dressed up and alone on New Years Eve. Sure I got some looks and some flirts...But all the men were with other women.. I don't roll like that.. So here I am watching bad football, and no one to look over too and say baby did you see that? Sigh..
But it's a new year. I have a new view on being single, it's better to be single than to be with the wrong man...
And with that said....I'll be back next week
Although I am married now and happy, I too endured many of those nights and holidays alone when I was single. While it was lonely and painful sometimes, I preferred it over getting dogged or treated like a piece of meat by men who had no appreciation for a good & strong woman. The right man will want what you want and u will be deserving of each other's love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment @evemon, you are a testimony of that there is hope for those of us who are temporarily single
ReplyDeleteOh and just for historical reference I don't want ppl to wonder why I was talking about the Future 2012 Super Bowl Champion Browns...on 1/2/11 the Browns lost to the Steelers 41-9. At home...Yes I needed a man to comfort me after such a tragedy
