One thing you find out after getting married is that singleness is something you lose. Of course, married people tell you the whole time that you are single to “enjoy the season” and “thank God for what you have,” but you really don’t know what you’re gonna miss until you’ve actually begun to ENJOY singleness.
By the time I married my husband, I had driven the East coast of the USA north to south, state-hopped on the weekends, danced all night long, shopped whenever I got ready and paid $200 and up for prime seats at big-name concerts. So, when I got married, I mourned singleness some.
Just two years earlier, if I had gotten married, I probably would have believed my husband was a Godsend. I would have given him all of my worshipful thankfulness, believing that he’d saved me from some lonely oblivion. Quite frankly, I would have loved him too much.
Instead, I had achieved a personal balance when we became serious. That’s why some days, I just want him to go away.
I don’t feel bad about missing some of my freedoms because I am glad I enjoyed them. Sure, I’ve had to postpone my world tour (the one where I travel to the origins of all my favorite dances and do those dances in those locations), but I feel good that I had a world tour to postpone. I really LIVED single. I met great people, I did great things and I lived life big.
I hope you’re living your life big, married or single, because there’s no use in spending all this time on Earth and worrying yourself to death halfway through because of some silly regrets.
Big up life today, and don’t wait for somebody to save you from yourself.
That’s for real.
