Fresh Perspective

I'm sitting here in my little living room starting out my Saturday with a cup of coffee and a little MTV Girl Code. If you've never watched Girl Code before, you're missing out. It's probably the most relatable show I have ever seen - which is it's main purpose I guess.

Here's just a little example.

Anyway, in each episode there's like three or four topics five or six girls comment on. This episode had the topic of engagement in it. Just like every other girl out there, I am steadily planning my wedding on Pinterest and let me say it is top notch. But, there's one thing missing - the guy. Most likely a very essential part to the big day. Believe me I'm looking for him, but he's not walked into my life quite yet. Like every good teenage girl, I'm going to blame my problems on my parents because they have the best relationship I have witnessed, but maybe I'm just biased. My mom would probably agree, because she tells me and my brother all the time, "I have ruined both of you." I am all for her bragging about their marriage because they are just two people that work together. They have been together since the 80's (which probably makes them feel really old if they're reading this) and they'll be celebrating 24 years of marriage this year.




Anyway, back to my dilemma. I used to think it was a really big deal that I wasn't in a relationship or one wasn't in the works. In reality, it's not. Sure every once in a while you'll get a little panicky and think about the future, but that's when you have your other single friends to back you up and Pinterest boards to compare, because let's face it: you're Pinterest wedding is way better than theirs to begin with. Single is not the worst thing that can happen to you and it's a fantastic way to learn how a relationship is supposed to be - you know, the do's and don'ts. It's nice to have a fresh perspective on things. I can't worry about the future when I have the present to live in.

Happy Saturday!
