"But Ms. G, you're running out of time!"

It's been a while since my last post... I'm not so sure I'll be great at this whole blogging thing. I've been doing a lot of thinking about relationships lately. Most of my friends are now in serious relationships, getting engaged, married or having children. All of these wonderful, life events are happening for them and here I am, single and 25 (which isn't the worst thing). It's funny how life happens and how it turns out completely different than what you thought. I remember growing up and thinking that I would be married with kids at 22...I was sure of it. I look at my life now and laugh because I am in a completely different place and have grown so much in just 3 years.

 According to my students, I'm running out of time because after all, I'm 25, almost 30 and I am going to be 80 before I know it!  Apparently being single at 25 is this tragic thing to them in their eyes. If you asked me last year or 2 years ago I probably would have said the same thing... my feelings have changed now. The past year has been a whirlwind of emotions and experiences. I got out of a serious relationship, I've gone on dates with crazy/weird people (I once received a 21 pound life size stuffed bear sent to my job because they thought "my kids would love it"...umm what?! I wish I was making this up), and lived alone. It has been a crazy ride but I have learned so much about myself and love my life right now. Someone recently told me that I "kick people to the curb too quickly." I don't think that's the case at all though..I think that I know what I want and when I find it, I'll know. If not, time to move on. I keep referring to this time as my "selfish" phase and I don't feel bad about it. Maybe when I start getting close to 30 I will begin to panic a little...but for now, this pretty much sums up my life. ;)
