i just spent the past four months in italy. which is the capital of love. literally. everyone in the city of florence is in love. and they love to show you. all over the city. honestly there is no privacy in that place. pda galore. not to mention my three best friends there who have been dating their boyfriends for 1-4 years and talking about marriage. and my best friend at home is talking about marriage. my three roommates i will be moving in with next semester all have boyfriends. it seems the whole world is in love. and i have never been so perfectly aware of just how single i am. which is not necessarily a bad thing.
my dad seems to be concerned that i don't have a boyfriend. he legitimately told me the other day that i will never find a "stronger christian" than myself and i should shoot lower. which is pretty funny and i hope pretty untrue. i know what i want. i know what i deserve. and i know i won't settle for anything less. and i'm not messing around anymore, i wouldn't date someone i wouldn't consider marrying. i will not date someone who doesn't make me love the lord more. i will not date someone who cannot lead me. i will not date someone who isn't trying to die to himself daily and follow the lord. period. so maybe i will be single for the rest of my life. i'm not really worried about it. yeah it's a bummer sometimes and i catch myself envious of friends in relationships. but at the same time i am completely untethered and can move to indonesia tomorrow if i feel like it. i really wrote this whole post to share a video i may or may not be obsessed with...
girlfriend knows what's up. so hello. i'm single. i'm happy. i love the lord. the end.
