I was asked this question last week. Put on the spot by my co worker's boyfriend. My answer to this question was, well someone told me they love me this morning. Which was the truth as I told myself, God told me and my mom told me all in the same day. I know that's not what he meant by asking such a question, but it was the answer he got. That question bothered me. I haven't been in a relationship for 5 years. Some sort of self imposed exile. But to tell the truth, I didn't want to be in one then and I don't particularly want to now.

But why does everyone else have to throw in their 2 cents about what I am doing?

I have become too content with being alone. I realize that. I do so many things by myself and I'm un-phased by it. It doesn't bother me to just do things I enjoy without another person's company. I don't think that's a problem. I truly enjoy my own company. I say I want to date, but I haven't even been trying to date. And everyone has there opinions about it. I am going to work on not caring. I have all the power in dating, and I'm going to start using it wisely....when I feel like dating. I want a brownie, with ice cream. <~I say that before I'm about to do yoga and go back to bed. Smh.

I'm having a mature moment. I think I'm "over it". It happened, it was fun while it lasted but something better is coming. That's exactly how I'm feeling right now. I can't even complain. It's almost a feeling of relief compared to what I used to feel.

I feel like I'm ready to finally put it behind me, no longer let it define me and just go forward. And it feels so good.
