It’s amazing where link hopping can take you. I started at a post on Creating Passionate Users called Free Range Posts which lead me to a new blog called Alane By Day and then Build a Better Blog caught my eye from Alane’s blogroll.
I couldn’t resist clicking on the giant purple “Blog Squad to the Rescue” button which lead me to Smart at Love where a comment left by Priya Shaw piqued my interest.
I know Priya mostly from internet marketing and blogging related circles, so I was curious to see why she was commenting on a post called But he’s so fun. After reading the entry, I decided to visit her new website Single By Choice.
It reminded me of my current situation - single (yes, by choice). My sisters have been bugging me lately to settle down and have children or, at very least, start dating again. But, to be quite frank, I’m just not ready for it.
I say I’ll consider dating maybe sometime next year, but my sisters both say I shouldn’t try to “schedule” such things. Why not? Sure if Mr. Right showed up on my doorstep I’m not about to turn him away, but I’m also not going to put myself out there before I’m ready to. I’ve done that before and it didn’t work out well.
Right now I want to focus on my business and personal goals before I focus on affairs of the heart. I don’t plan to be a spinster all my life and would like to have children one day, I just don’t think that day will be today (or tomorrow). What is so wrong with wanting to be single anyway?
