I just got home from watching, “Think Like a Man.” I loved
it absolutely – so funny. The feeling the movie left me with is hard to
describe. As I sat in the audience by
myself, I felt empowered by my own resolve. Let me explain – this morning I
went to the gym with a friend, then I scheduled some appointments, then I went
to work, got out early, got a massage, went grocery shopping, then went to the
movie by myself. Also, its Wednesday. It was perhaps one of the best days ever.
Why? Because today made me realize, that I’ve been officially single for six weeks and I’ve learned more about
myself in the last 42 days than the last three years. I crammed a lot of living
in the last month. I partied with honestly amazing people, I rediscovered true
friends, I went antique shopping with my parents, and I beat multiple people at
skee-ball. I made plans to follow my dreams across the
country. When I wasn’t looking I turned from a wannabe independent all-bark
tough girl, into an honestly amazing self-confident woman with the best friends
a girl could ask for. I’ve learned to defend myself, let others help me
sometimes, party just as hard as I work, and always be comfortable with myself.
I am so thankful that I finally figured out how to live. Someday, I’ll find
someone to share the amazing feeling that comes from a late night movie on a Wednesday. But for now - here’s to loving today and looking forward
to someday. Cheers!
