I will say that i love my 30s a lot more than my 20s. and, like another commenter stated: when i look around at my friends' seemingly happy marriages, and i know the Truth, being single is not so bad. So, my advice is: do all the things that you will never be able to do once you are married with kids. And, remember, most of your married friends are probably jealous of your single status.<br />Also, this is so goobie, but i try and remember saint therese: "you are exactly where you are meant to be..."<br />PS I totally fantasize about that target zapper gun and revenge registry!Lindseyhttp://prettyis.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-85635875400342890652009-08-12T19:26:43.579-04:002009-08-12T19:26:43.579-04:00Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

I can relate to what you're...Happy B-day Suz! <br /><br />I can relate to what you're saying. Sometimes I'm right in that place too, but then I remember that I've done a lot of things with my life that my married friends haven't done or haven't been able to do. And that's pretty cool. I also recently had an experience with some friends of mine... I looked around and thought, 'yeah, I really don't want their life.' It was eye-opening for me to realize that. For now I am just going to try to be patient, stop asking myself "Why" (why isn't that me, why haven't I met someone), and I try hard to embrace my life. <br /><br />Suz, seriously you're awesome.

I can't say i don't know...Happy Birthday! <br /><br />I can't say i don't know exactly what you are feeling! I am 29 and well my 30th isn't til march of next year, but i look around my family and see everyone else working towards their common goals with their mates and on their 3rd kid already and the more i am reminded of them having their lives set the more i tend to doubt if that will be me.<br /><br />I kind of always pictured that i would find someone in my late 20's marry around 30 and have children around 32/33? Well I am approaching 30 and although I do have a BF we have been dating just about 9 mons (not that i am trying to hex anything) but i have had a string of 9 month relationships and after it hits that...the relationship dies out...so we shall see.<br /><br />The only advice i can give or maybe help? is Your life is GREAT at this moment and just live it to the fullest! I always tell people I loved being single, although i feel happier in a relationship that doesn't mean being single sucks! I don't have children yet but sometimes question the fact that IF i have the tolerance for kids....<br /><br />What i am trying to say is like one who commented before ....DON'T settle! I have seen soo many friends (have attended all their baby showers, parites etc...) rush to get married thinking they are really forming their lives now end up being stuck, divorced, or just absolutely miserable cause they jumped the gun and wanted to start settling! You have a wonderful head on your shoulders and everything going for you why shouldn't you deserve the best companion?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920955047641157204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-75999245796135555392009-08-11T15:45:50.844-04:002009-08-11T15:45:50.844-04:00Happy Birthday!

I know what you mean.. I haven't ye...Urgh, yes. I know what you mean.. I haven't yet reached my mid-20s but it seems like I have been restless in my quest to find a good lasting relationship .. and it's like I can't start living until I do. Actually, I used to think that when I would be done with school, I'd start living but that was crap. LOL. Anyhow, in order to cheer you up, I must remind you that it's better to find someone you're truly happy with than to settle with some loser just to "start living". I bet most of those who had showers and parties and gifts .. are not even happy right now. Are you feeling better ?! lol Happy Birthday Suz :) You're fabulous!Fanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451339206120704951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-34066435212703096222009-08-11T15:10:39.051-04:002009-08-11T15:10:39.051-04:00Happy Birthday!

It's just weird, and I dislike feeling uncomfortable with my age.<br /><br />Hang in there though!

What I have to keep reminding myself is that I believe God's timing is perfect. What is meant to happen in my life will happen in His perfect time and if I try to rush it or change it or make it happen...well, then I will be cheating myself out of His perfect gift. <br /><br />So, while there is no advice I can give, I do believe that you will have all the things you want, just as I will, and in a few years we will look back and say:<br /><br />"Why the hell did I want to be married with 2.5 kids???"<br /><br />Or something like that. <br /><br />Hang in there!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064480768789968492noreply@blogger.com
