Pros and Cons of Being Single -- Grace

Okay, so in case you weren't aware, I'm a girl.  And girls tend to get a little...shall we say....emotional.  I'm feeling emotional tonight after a night out with friends....so I'm doing a post about the pros and cons of being single.  Sensible thing to do, right?  (Perhaps I'm trying to prove to myself that there is a blessing in waiting...)

Promise and I are in high school.  It seems like most of the people I know are pairing off (or about to).  I can't quite put my finger on this feeling, but it has something to do with feeling lonely...

Cons: (I'll admit, these are weak arguments....)
-- You have no one to stand next to when not currently engaged in a conversation.  So you're awkwardly standing there...like the wallflower you've always been.
-- Who are you going to tell every single little thing to?  (Note to self -- God might feel like a blank wall at times, but He's always there 😊). 
-- There's a part of you missing.

There.  I put my feelings into words.  I feel like a part of me is missing.  I feel like I'm half a person. 

PROS!!!!:
-- Who cares if I want to go see that new movie or not?  I CAN DO WHATEVAH I WANT  TO.  ;-)
-- Seriously.  There are no "I can't, I'm not feeling well today"'s when youre single.
-- There is literally no jealousy. 
-- I don't have to remember any anniversaries.  This was the first time I went to the library by myself?  Great!  Let me breaK out the ice cream and Aristocats DVD and eat/watch them in bed.  BECAUSE I MAKE THE RULES IN THIS RELATIONSHIP!  ;-)

That being said, I'll be excited for that day that I'm no longer only "half a person"...and if I stay single forever, well...MORE ICE CREAM FOR ME!!!!! 😊
