My three-things-about-being-single-I-had-to-learn-on-my-own: (1) The only way to be un-single is to be in a relationship.

I blog:1. to discipline my writing2. to decide if I could make a life of it. Although this adventure has been anything but magical, I learned (from another adventure): life isn’t magical. We expect everywhere we walk to become red carpet: that first date to confirm he’s the one, that first job to be suit-ties and panty-hose. Oh how glorious, […]
