Thank YOU for lifting me up.

I am so thankful for my tight weave of friends who understand me.

You lift me up more than you know, every single day.

You are CHAMPIONS who don’t make me feel like I am less than them because I am going through a transitional phase.

I am thankful that YOU listen to me even though they might not understand.

I am happy that YOU support me through the big things as well as the small things.

That YOU do not constantly remind me that they are in long-term relationships, married, or have children.

I am thankful that YOU treat me as your equal & not as a bratty girl who just wants some well earned time with her buddies one on one.

I am thankful that YOU also cherish that time alone with me, and that YOU can use me as an outlet to get some time in with out your sig/O.

I feel supported by YOU in that YOU make time for just me all the time.

That YOU check in on me, when there was a time that I didn’t know if anyone would notice if I disappeared.

Thank You ladies & gentlemen-best friends-for caring about me.
Sharing YOUR life with me.
Believing in me.
Making me feel as YOUR wonderful equal, even though sometimes I can’t help but feel like less than.

I hear things all day long from people who make me feel less than because I am not married with children. YOU remind me that aspect of life isn’t everything that matters & if I decide that I want to be married with children that it will happen one day in time.

I love you & I appreciate YOU my friends.

Your Advice Is For The Birds.

Everyone is always filled with advice. People assume since I’m not in a serious relationship that I am not happy. I don’t know how many women offhandedly told me that I’d be happy once I find that special someone. I mean sure I am dating right now, but I could never measure my happiness on a relationship. Unless Prince William wants to make me queen one day… (Call me!)

It’s funny how when you become single, a lot of people treat you as less than. As in, I am less than you are, because you are married, I am less than you are because you have a child; I am less than you are because you have a long term relationship. I don’t know why people feel like they need to treat you that way. People literally talk down to me, my friends even. I mean how could I understand the deep complexities of your relationship… I’m just a single gal.

Hey, newsflash- your relationship sucks. You aren’t happy 24/7 either & you can’t do what you want, when you want, how you want- with out asking for permission. The only thing I have to worry about is my dog & he’s portable.

Please stop belittling your single friends! They don’t want your advice, unless they ask for it. Then when they ask for it, they just want to hear happy-positive-things! Maybe just pump them up once & a while, in the long run they will thank you!
