Your Time Will Come...

     I attended a wedding recently and it was so beautiful. It was in a backyard of a restaurant and it was lit with cafĂ© lights and Christmas lights and it was at night time. It was just so magical, and it got me thinking about my wedding. Things that I would do similarly and some things that I would change. I, like most girls, have a Pinterest board dedicated to that special day. What wedding ring I want, what style I want my dress to be, how I want the reception set up, what I want my invitations to look like. The whole nine yards. While I was standing beside the beautiful bride and witnessed magic happen, I realized that I was missing one very important part in my happily ever after. MY PERSON! How can one get married without having someone to say "I Do" to.
      While feelings of sadness began creeping in, I had to give myself a little pep talk. I had to reassure myself that I would have my magical day when the time is right. I would meet my person at the appointed time. When God sees that we are both ready to fully commit to a relationship, He will cause both of our paths to cross. And it will be great. It'll be my greatest love.
     That's what I wanted to remind you of today, don't stress over being single. I know it sucks being the only single person in your group of friends but your day will come. And you will meet your person. The one who turns your world upside down. The one who drives you crazy. The one who makes you count the days until you meet again. The one who makes you forget all of the bad things that's ever happened. The one who you want to wake up next to the rest of your life. The one who you want next to you when tragedy strikes. The one who will remind you how much they love you when your old and gray. Your time will come.

The Switch

It's like someone's flipped a switch and you're a completely different person. One minute you're all fine and dandy and then someone says something that you don't agree with or something happens that you didn't plan and that's it. The person that I thought I knew was gone. Leaving me with this skeleton covered in flesh that I don't know nor do I care to know. But no one ever says anything. It's the elephant in the room that everyone overlooks. Maybe because they're afraid. Afraid of what or who they don't know. 

But I don't want to be afraid. I don't want to walk around on egg shells because I'm afraid of the   "other you".  That's not how I want to live. I don't want to live in fear, afraid of when you're gonna have you're next breakdown. 

So let's awaken the sleeping giant. Let's poke the bear. Let's finally  put a name to that unknown face and deal with it. Let's flip the switch (on purpose) and not be afraid of what's hiding in the dark. 

~And that's the way the cookie crumbles!~
