- I am jealous of couples who found love young and have been growing together and nurturing their love for years. You know the ones…..they met in college and here we are 10 years later and they’re married and have a set of twin girls. They have jobs that they love and every time you see them they look as in love as they were on their wedding day. Yeah…I don’t like them.
- I don’t like pregnant people either. I dislike pregnant people with a heated passion and all it is is envy. I had a plan in place to get pregnant this year through artificial insemination and be a parent by myself. The possibility of meeting someone special stopped me. I play the what if game with myself. What if I meet someone while I’m pregnant. He’ll run away. What if I meet him and he doesn’t want a woman that already has kids? He’ll run away. What if I never meet anyone? I shouldn’t have waited.
- I wonder if I’ll ever celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary like my grandparents did. I’m already 30 and not even in a relationship. That golden celebration is looking more and more elusive every year.
- My resolve sometimes weakens. I’ll hear a message on my voicemail from someone I haven’t spoken to in a while…..someone I hadn’t on speaking to……and I think about calling them back. Or I’ll see something that reminds me of them and I want to pick up the phone and share.
- Will Rascall Flatts ever stop reminding me of that jackass? How come I get that same memory when I hear Donnell Jones, Lyfe, Avant, Ruben Studdard, and Mary J. Blige? I still remember the song that used to make me think about my first college boyfriend. It was Freakin You on Jodeci’s The Show, The After-Party, The Hotel cd. Then again, music is such an important part of my life that there are an array of moments associated with music for me. For example, freshman year we were in the dorm room of a girl down the hall. We were all gathered up and late for class….waiting on the world premier of R. Kelly’s Down Low video. LOL And I’ll never forget Xscape’s Traces of My Lipstick.
