Challenges of Being Single

Sometimes life finds us stuck between so much. You have work and the stresses that come with that. Not to mention the holidays are coming up. Halloween is such a fun time of year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the season of giving. All of these things are wonderful but can also be a very lonely time of year when you have to go through them alone. Being alone is not fun. Hearing someone and being able to just talk and express your feelings out loud to someone is all a part of human nature. We are not meant to be alone. We are social creatures so when subjected to loneliness the heart aches and longs for a connection. The heart can turn monsters into angels and lead us down a dead end path that is when our minds come into play. We can't just settle for someone for the sake of not being alone. Doing that is something many people do and they end up traveling down the road to a dead end and when they reach the dead end they crash and it hurts and takes even much longer to turn around and start over. Starting over. Two words that seem so simple but yet are so hard to do. Hard to let go hard to move on and accept being alone and hard not to be lonely. Loving yourself isn't enough in life. Love is meant to be given away. I hope that one day I can find someone wonderful and someone who takes my breath away. I look for the Cinderella story. Does this even exist? I don't know but I at least hold onto hope that it does. I wake up each day hoping that Mr. Right will walk in my life and sweep me off of my feet but often find myself going to bed alone and very much aware of the loneliness in my heart. So many will say keep your chin up love is out there you just have to wait for the right time. That is true but those words don't change anything. They don't fill the void in your heart that is necessary due to human nature of the need of human contact on the deepest level. Prince Charming stop hiding. I'm not getting any younger. Please don't wait until I have to use a walker.
