Rockin’ out to: Brown Eyes – With Coffee

My family and family friends have been on my case over the past few months about my love life. It’s always, “do you have a girlfriend yet?”, or “when are you going to get a girlfriend?”. Really? I’m flattered that people care about my love life that much, but even I don’t care about it as much as they do. I’m taking it as I go. If I meet someone, or if someone already in my life happens to become that girl, then great. If she doesn’t come along, that sucks, but I’ve been alright on my own for so long, I’ll be fine… I think.

I’ll be the first to admit that there are times when I am with my ‘couple’ friends and I sometimes roll my eyes in frustration. I know that being single and being in a relationship has it’s own respective advantages and disadvantages, but you gotta admit, it’s kind of boring. Life is more fun with someone else in it.

I definitely need to change my outlook on love. For me, it feels like a chore, but a necessary one. I absolutely want to experience this love so many people rave about. But I hate it at the same time because it is so difficult to continuously micro-manage your relationship in an effort to keep it healthy. It’s almost like working another job.

All this being said, there is someone on my mind. I care about her very much, and I can only hope she cares about me the same way. Whether I will ever figure that out, only time will tell.
