You Become Your Own Self

I'm turning 21 in six days. Wooot~!

Back when I was still a kid, I calculate years and imagine myself what will I become by then. If I remember it right, I thought that I am out of college and now working as a nurse or a teacher. I wanted to be a nurse before like my Auntie who lives in the States and a teacher like my Mom. I might also have a boyfriend by this time.

But as you can see, neither of the things I thought when I was a child happened. I am still in College. I am not taking up Nursing nor Education. And lastly, I am single. The old me might be disappointed by now but I'm happy on how things turned out.  It's funny when you're young and what you wanted was to pattern your life to someone else's; it might be one of your family members or other people who you look up to. But when you grow up and mature, you make your own decisions/choices and slowly you become your own self.

Singleness is a Blessing~

I'm halfway done reading Joshua Harris' I Kissed Dating Goodbye. For months, I have been looking for that book since I started reading its sequel, Boy Meets Girl and finally it is now available at National Bookstore and costs 195php. 

Because of the book, I've come to realize that Singleness is a blessing from God. It is a season in one's  life to reconnect and strengthen one's relationship to Him. You don't have to rush things up, you just have to trust Him and everything will fall into place at His right time. There is a time for everything, like when snow appears during the winter and leaves starting to fall on autumn. He has His perfect timing that neither you nor I knows. Trust in Him and you will be blessed. Believe~

Not yet Ready

Relationship. Commitment. I don't think I'm ready for that stuffs yet. It's just that my friend is having a dilemma about that things and I know I'm not "mature" enough to handle those. Haha. I'm not saying, I'm immature or what but I'm just too in love with my life right now. I have all the time for myself, for my family and for my friends. 'Cause I know when you're already in a relationship, there will always be compromises and divided attention.

This is what I love being single. No one to control me. No one to tell my whereabouts except my Mother. Haha. I can do whatever I want whenever I can without thinking what the other will say or feel. I control my own life and manage my time. And most especially, to be spared from all the drama brought about relationships. No hassles; just me being happy, carefree.

Yes, I admit there were times that I wished and hoped to have that special someone. I've always been praying that to God but I think He hasn't given that someone to me because He knows, it's not yet the right time.

So for the mean time, I'll just continue to make the best of what I have now until that special someone comes along... :)
