As you can tell I make fun of the fact that I'm single a lot, and it's not because I'm bitter about it. It's because I don't have a problem with it and I embrace it, nothing's wrong with me because of the fact that I'm single. It actually makes me happy that I'm able to make fun of myself for it, it makes my obsession with Netflix and pizza funnier in my posts.
With all of that aside, I've decided to go about things in my life in a different way. Regardless of the fact that I am happy being single, it's still nice to go out on dates and feel special every once in a while. And being single you don't get those things as often as you would like, especially if you're as shy as I am and you don't talk to guys as often as others might.
I started looking at everything about the dating world in an entirely new light. I was always under the impression that I had to sit around and wait for a guy to come along and sweep me off my feet. Just because I was always taught that girls that put themselves out there were not the kind of girls that guys were looking for, so there was never any intrigue for me to put myself out there. And recently, I decided to change that. And I heard a quote from an episode of New Girl that explains exactly why I'm brave enough to go about this whole dating thing in a different way.
"Are boys dumb? Yes. Do they do disappointing, stupid things that really hurt your feelings? Yes. Sometimes things don't work out the way you planned them. Actually, they never work out the way you plan them. But I'm the end it's all going to be okay, and that's why you have to try."
Jessica Day, New girl.
This quote struck a strong chord with me, and although I had already decided to change my mind and try new things this helped me realize that my decision is one that I don't regret. And it's also why I've decided to take on new things as well, regardless of what they may be. I'm looking forward to what the future has in store for me, and how I'm going to take a hold of the reins and change things for myself. And make myself happy with my decisions.
I know this post isn't like my previous posts, but I feel like it's one that needed to be heard.
