I remember that I'm 22 and barely an adult, but sometimes the endless parties and stupidity of youth gets old, and I want someone by my side to travel the world with. That being said, enjoy your youth, because you have the rest of your life for homecooked dinners and going to bed early.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212091388444014494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-56773319340302397452010-02-12T15:23:07.430-05:002010-02-12T15:23:07.430-05:00i don't usually comment on your stuff cause we...i don't usually comment on your stuff cause well you are my best friend and i can just tell you face to face but this is beautiful. it's what i think about all the time and never write down. it's such a vivid story. i can see it so easily. i hope one day someone says to me "when i was 24, i would sit on the bus and dream of you." good job bestie.At a Loss for Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220030896516583056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-61929898834596603032010-02-11T01:43:03.690-05:002010-02-11T01:43:03.690-05:001. love your blog! 2. good to hear i'm not the...1. love your blog! 2. good to hear i'm not the only one that daydreams a narrative about my future life and love lol 3. definitely going to start the letter writing!sydney with a yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274835012496902647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-67756073478371667022010-02-10T18:09:23.545-05:002010-02-10T18:09:23.545-05:00It made me almost cry.

Hah! I am 23, married, and expecting a son in 6 wks. And yes. It is as wonderful as your fantasy-maybe requiring a little more conscious patience and non-ignoring the mailbox, but blissfully wonderful. I just wanted to write this comment, because I see that most of the comments are from single women, and although waiting for the one person that can make your world complete and living the single life is freeing and satisfying, so is being attached and part of a family.Marie Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256483257678923863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-10417559868937678542010-02-09T15:10:14.837-05:002010-02-09T15:10:14.837-05:00Take it from someone who is single and 30, having ...Take it from someone who is single and 30, having a dream woman (or in your case, a man) is nice and all, but sometimes you get a bit too picky and you end up sabotaging great dates that aren't exactly completely equal to what you thought your dream person would be.<br /><br />Oh, and it is not about settling. Settling is accepting someone who smokes when your ideal person does not smoke. You'll never find happiness if you have a narrow list to choose from, lol.<br /><br />Oh, and growing up isn't about finding someone, it's about who you are as a person. If it takes finding someone to define you, then you obviously need a better purpose in life. :)Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16722356070279859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-61957508318039348602010-02-09T14:12:44.435-05:002010-02-09T14:12:44.435-05:00I was just talking to my friend about this very th...I was just talking to my friend about this very thing. We are happy being young and free, not tied down to anyone or anything but some days that tiny friend, Loneliness, comes over and sits with you on the couch, pats his lap and waits for you to lay your head on it.<br />It doesn't mean we're pathetic or that we should feel bad that we aren't married yet like some of our other friends. Maybe it's just a check-up, like Loneliness comes just to take our temperature, making sure we're okay for the time being...then one day we'll have that fever and it will be time for us to meet our "special someone".<br /><br />Your blog is amazing. It's my inspiration when I get bummed out about my own blog :)mcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292548775775219878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-29122581717020939632010-02-09T13:56:54.009-05:002010-02-09T13:56:54.009-05:00so sincere, I love it!so sincere, I love it!Sincere Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056352143502268675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433480315947510138.post-12077817298725657852010-02-09T13:44:48.188-05:002010-02-09T13:44:48.188-05:00We are all at one pt. in our lives have gone thru ...We are all at one pt. in our lives have gone thru what u are going thru...
