Technically a Year, Sort of 11 Months.

So I believe it was this week last year that I broke up with my last girlfriend. And the girl that I "dated" for a week in February doesn't really count. So I've basically been single for an entire year. There are pros and cons to this of course, but I think it's mostly a positive. I have had this entire year to mature and understand what was so incredibly wrong with my last two relationships. Earlier this year I wrote about how high school relationships are bound to be dysfunctional, and just create more drama than is needed. I still strongly go by that, but at times I've felt like saying 'screw being single, I'll ask her out and if it doesn't go well, oh well.' But I've fought that urge to "test the waters" with dating-- not worth it.

This year has proved to be the most fun with friends. We all have our licenses and more freedoms, we've hung out way more than before. Becoming older is awesome, and having the time to chill with friends his awesome, without the crutch of having a girlfriend that may not like doing exactly what my friends and I enjoy.

So here's to my single life- anniversary! Haha.
