I have a lot of experience being single. Depending on the day I have different thoughts and feelings about it. One day it could mean I'm strong and independent. Another day it might be that I'm lonely. I have experienced triumphs in this journey and I have had my share of losses. Yet the question remains, 'why am I still single?'As I've entered my 30's this question seems to haunt me more and more. I get really tired of attempts people make to give me advice based on what happened to them or what worked for them. My path in life has always been unique to me (partly because I refuse to follow the crowd ;)
Don't get me wrong; I'm not complaining about my life. I am blessed with many great friends that love me and support me. I have a family that always takes care of me. I have a career that I enjoy. But if there's one area of my life that the devil manages to attack me with the most, it is that I am single. I have had many discussions about this with other single Christian women; I know I'm not alone.
However, every time I sit down to write something to launch discussion on this topic; fear overwhelms me. I'm not sure how to approach it without being completely vulnerable. But I suppose that is the point. When I began this blog I not only wanted to give myself a creative outlet, but if anyone chose to read it I wanted it to help validate some of their life's struggles.
Since I don't have any followers to ask for ideas or thoughts, I guess I'm throwing out my idea more out of therapeutic necessity. Should I expose this area of my life?
