Being Single in your mid (yikes) 20's

I never thought I would be almost 25 and single when I was a kid..although when I was in a relationship at 19, 20, 21, 22...I was constantly fighting for more freedom. I am a very independent girl that loves her friends and doing her own thing. That being said, I would not be opposed to a relationship, I'm just very picky about who comes my way (I've been burned too many times). So here's a blog on embracing being single this year :)

http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/5-steps-to-embracing-your-single-self-in-2012/

1. Continue to sleep with your special friend: This would be fine as long as nobody has feelings and/or begins dating someone else without telling you. haha. Otherwise these can be very dangerous situations/and or very good situations depending on the person you are doing it with. For right now I'm going to steer clear of this from my 2011 experience of this.

2. Be all that you can be: YES. I'm trying to be a better friend, better employee, and a better person overall. Someone that makes my dad proud and my friends say "YUP..that girls MY friend." I also would love to run a half marathon...but we'll SEE about that one.

3. Come up with 5 adjectives and make a new friend that embodies each: SHOOT this is hard. LOYAL...any friend that is there for you through the worst of the worst is a friend to keep!, TRUSTWORTHY ...I've trusted some friends I shouldn't of this year and regretted it, FUNNY...anyone thats funny has my attention, SEXY (hopefully this is a new hot male friend I meet ;)), FUN...anyone thats up for a good time is a fun friend to me!

4. Stop Facebook/ creeping, and go do stuff: SO TRUE. Seeing a picture pop up on your FACEBOOK newsfeed of your ex boyfriend and his fiance and their families kind of makes you want to slit your wrists (not for real) But makes you wonder...could that have been me..maybe? Or seeing that the last guy you "hung out" with deleted you from FACEBOOK because his 19 year old girlfriend made him. Or noticing all these friends that are getting married in "OMG LESS THAN 15 DAYS!" Oh goodness even all the baby photos...they're just so damn cute! It's like get off the internet and live life! Stupid smart phones...they'll kill you...for real..like cause cancer.

5. Discover who you are: This is probably the most important thing that I am going to do. Figure out who I am. Love me so someone else can love me too.
