Different strokes for different folks

People in my life are in lots of different places in their lives. Some are married, some are together (for a long time and others for a short time), some are single, some are in-between. From what people have told me and from all that I've gathered, people are always going to be at different relationship points throughout my 20's so i guess I'm going to have to get used to it... as much as I dislike it.

So I am currently single and have been throughout college. Not a big secret or anything, just wanted to establish that for future blogging purposes as well. Yesterday, I was thinking about the holidays coming up and what everyone wants as far as presents go. Then a funny thought crossed me, "I am really happy that I don't have to think/buy/get/make something for a boyfriend!"

Ok, so think of me what you will. Is that selfish? Of course! Do I sound like a big Grinch? Maybe, but also let me just point out that I really do enjoy getting gifts for my family and friends, I just am really happy that I don't have to think of something amazing, expensive, or fabulous gift for my significant other. I've seen the stress that gift-giving makes ANY person go a little crazy around the holiday season, not a pretty picture. I can't imagine having to do it for a boyfriend.

Now I'm sure lots of people would say the complete opposite of me, I'm simply stating how I feel about that at this given moment. Watch for the next post on a great list that goes with this post. I'd love to hear any thoughts or comments on this too!

haha I think a boyfriend's family fits this category too! that's a lot of work, but maybe do something fun like tickets to lucky Bowl? so they can all go together!
