Listen. I know you want things. I want things too. But sitting there complaining about what I don’t have is a waste of the precious time I’ve been given.

This being said, earlier today I ranted on Facebook. I know…I normally dislike those posts too but this one was an encouraging rant. If ever that were a thing.

You see, I have grown so very tired of hearing people whine and complain about being single. Like it’s the plague or dysentery. Well I’ve got news for you, it’s not. Here for your reading pleasure is my Facebook rant:

Singles. PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING SINGLE and get on with your life. Stop waiting in a holding pattern until some guy/girl asks you out! Marriage is a new chapter in your life not the beginning of your life.

I would like to be married, yes. There are lots of things I want, but I’m not going to hold off on living because I don’t have them. I would also like to be out of debt and have a well paying job that I like. I would also like my house to be all one color and a new roof.

But right now, my house is two-toned and I am looking for the right job for me. I am also getting a great upper body work out this winter by shoveling my own driveway. But that’s okay. I’m still going to enjoy my life right now. Life does not have to be perfect to be enjoyed. ‪#‎rantover‬
