What if you never get married?

If I find the right guy and get married, cool. If I stay single and become the crazy dog lady at the end of the block, hey, I'm cool with that too. I don't want to settle just to get married.

It's funny. when I was young, I thought I'd be married by the time I was 30. As 30 got closer I started thinking "I am still too young to be married. 35 would be more like it." I'm 33 now and you guessed it - my thought process is "40's an all right age to get married." (Don't ask me why I think in 5s! *lol*) I'll probably be 90 and thinking "you know, I'll still have plenty of life left in me at 95 - no rush!"

I had to laugh, because I would love to be the crazy lady with all the dogs in her yard. The one thing I am affraid of, like a lot of people, is being "old and alone." I'm fairly close with my family, but I'm an only child... thank God for my sorority sisters!

I determined a long time ago that I would make my life the best that it could possibly be, and if I get married, then great, if I don't, then thats ok too.
Sure, it would be nice to have someone around, but I don't think that there is any sense in dwelling over it (for me personally) when you could be out doing other things and opportunities are passing you by. I'm lucky to have great friends, great sorority sisters, and an amazing family and sure not everything is fantastic but I know that they will always be there for me rather than a relationship which may or may not work out.
