So I guess I have established that boys are distractions, and kind of a waste of efforts. So what does that mean for the single gal? It means that instead of focusing on boys, which I can spend a lot of time and energy doing, I get to focus on myself. I get to put all my time, efforts, money, and thoughts on making myself the best single gal that I can be. So I ask myself this question: what do I want to do? Now, in the near future, and in the far future. What do I want from life; what do I want to accomplish. Well..this is a big question, and therefore a complicated answer.
First, I have to start by stating that I have lost forty pounds. Yes - four, zero. No small task if I may say so, and quite a great first step on this journey of being the best me possible. I have twenty more pounds to go, and am discovering for the first time in years (and I literally mean like 7 or 8 years) what it means to love myself, and to truly enjoy shopping, which is making quite a dent in my bank account statements. So for now, I want to lose the rest of my weight, and focus on acing school. I am entering my second year of nursing, and my first year went pretty well. I just need to keep focusing on the good in life. I also started a part time job at my University that I am loving.
So, since starting my weight loss I have made a fairly big and seemingly insurmountable decision: attempt to get into Med School. Yes, Medicine! It seems kind of impossible, but what is life if we don't dream big. So here I am, dreaming big and deciding to try it anyways. I may utterly fail, but at least I can say that I tried.
And in the far future? Well for now I say travel. I am a traveller! I went to Europe for a year, I have been to Africa, Mexico, Guatemala, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Spain and of course the United States of America. I love to travel, and I don't just mean enjoy it, but I feel the need to travel at least once a year. This year? Cancun over Christmas with the girls! As a single gal, I have no commitment to anyone else. Ah, the joys :) But long term I would love to move to Europe for an extended period of time. I want to live in Paris for a year; I might want to start learning french...
Eventually I would like to get married and have children. That would be the ultimate achievement. But I don't want to kiss a never ending amount of frogs. I want to be found. I don't want to pursue, I want to be pursued. And so I shall live my life, and wait for a man (not boy) to come into my life and show me that he makes my life better. In the meantime? I will learn to love myself.
