Bare naked

Let’s take a moment to appreciate all the freedoms we have by being single.   Starting with small things like picking what restaurant to get take out from or making your own concoctions without suggestions when cooking.  Deciding last minute that you will take a weekend off in another city or staying at home without agenda.  Movie days without compromise and the unquestionable ability to blast Alanis Morissette while vacuuming your living room naked with a bottle of your favorite wine (no glass – pushed the cork to the bottom so you’re totally committed and the shades down so your neighbors don’t see).   

To answer your question:  Yes however no pockets were involved and I don’t smoke…. Now put that judging eyebrow back in its place- Thank you very much!

Not only that… Your married/relationship friends secretly admire this… They especially enjoy hearing about your various escapades. They may or may not be slightly jealous and they've definitely take a few tips from your bag of tricks. Some may have been disastrous but you have got to give them credit for trying. 

Anyway – A point I’d like to instill is that being single is awesome!!!  It’s not a special club where you have to have VIP to get into.  You are your own VIP.   You get the time to know exactly who you are and appreciate YOU.  Honestly I think it makes you’re a stronger more in tune person.  You know your limitations, when to push them and when to call it a night.   You know exactly what you want and will not put up anything less.   

The best piece of advice I can give is to take a moment to enjoy this experience.  I'm not saying that things will deflate when you meet someone but to be a better partner to that person and have more significant relationships when you are ready (of course).  Don’t try to force, prolong relationships or settle on relationships that are nothing more than just available because your heart deserves to be loved and nurtured in a manner that is loving and real without effort.  Don’t be anything but yourself because keeping up a facade is way too much effort and only ends in the truth coming out so why not just be honest from the start.

You are amazing and I will leave you with this quote from one of the best and most informative shows about dating…

"Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies." - Sex in the City
