Relationships

So someone said to me today when you have some spare time you should count up all the people you have dated...so I did. I started post high school...because well I think that is when it starts to count :) And I am embarrassed to say I counted 51 people that I could remember. That is just insane! 51 people and I still haven't found the "right" one?

I have had some horrible relationships. Ones that broke my heart. Ones that I broke theirs. Some that they cheated. Some that I wanted to cheat and didn't. Others that ended before they began, and some that should have. But after it all, I can honestly say I didn't regret one of them. This last year has taught me a lot. It has made me stronger then I could have ever thought I would or could be. I lost amazing friends. Gained even more amazing ones. Left the man I thought I was going to marry. Had the one I wanted to marry break up with me. And finally found courage and strength. I think this is the first time in my life I have finally just stood up for me. I am done with letting others push me around, make me feel less then what I am, and having friends that are willing to turn around and stab me in the back. I have been told by so many people that 25 was the year they found themselves. I think for me I always knew who I was...it was just the year I found the courage to be that person...

  1. Love the last line! It is so true for many of us. I don't really think it matters how many guys you have dated. I know it is hard in Utah where so many people get married so young putting pressure on the "older" ones, but I say to hell with it. When you find the one you are supposed to be with you will both know and you will both be happy. Just have fun while you are single!
