This morning at work, I was shooting the breeze with a coworker when we got to talking about graduation. We discovered that we are both graduating the same time and while I was excited, my coworker immediately says, "You better find a man!" Really? I mean really. I can't tell you how many times I hear this phrase and how angry it makes me especially since I am almost done with BYU-I. It was fine a few years ago but it seems that at the ripe old age of 21, I have become a spinster. I just want to let everyone know that although I am not married, engaged, or even in a relationship, I am happy. I mean I am TRULY happy and honestly feel like I am doing everything right in my life. The decisions I am making and the direction I am going all feels good and I am not concerned. It's not like I don't have any friends or aren't out making new ones; I have been out every night since I got back to Rexburg doing things with friends and making new ones! It just can often feel like everyone thinks I am going to die at 22 and need to be sealed so I have to get married to the next available man immediately. I know what I am worth and I know what I want and won't settle for less even if it takes a little longer than everyone else. I mean come on, isn't that just my style to do things different from everyone else? What's the title of this blog anyways? Okay, so I am done with my rant now and I don't mean for this post to sound angry but when you see me next, please don't ask me when I am getting married; I promise you, when that day comes, the world will know! :)
Well said, MISS Lisa! You are amazing and wonderful and I'm excitedly happy to see the direction you are taking with your life. Keep it up! Lova you!!!
