Vacation was fabulous! A time for some much needed relaxation. The beach was more than amazing and the weather could not have been better. Of course now that I am back in Texas, I feel like I walked into a sauna!
While on vacation, I had time to think.......I thought about life and love as I watched those around me in relationships. Here I was the "third wheel" and beginning to question if I liked it that way.... Is the third wheel really that bad? Of course it would be nice to travel with a partner and the two of you could do things together, etc.. but is single hood really as bad as people make it out to be? Was I lacking so much by having this time to myself?
Taking this time to find myself, has not been a bad process at all. Finding myself has helped me determine what qualities I deserve out of a relationship. While searching for "Mr. Right"...... I've had to understand my own personality and what I am attracted to. What are my priorities in life? What matters to me? What do I enjoy doing? I suggest everyone take some time and re-evaluate what really matters to them.... What makes you "tick"? What are you passionate about? What are your goals and dreams?
Just because I am currently the third wheel, does not mean I will always be. So, while I am... I am embracing it. I was once told "Love your circumstance" and that is exactly what I am doing.....
Hey Courtney! I find myself as the 3rd wheel quite often. And you're right it's not always so bad. Love reading your blog, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Courtney! Being the third wheel isn't so bad for now - I'll embrace it with you!
ReplyDeleteEven though i am now very happily married, i was that 3rd wheel for a long time! i LOVED my life: i had a great job, i was in great shape, all the $ was mine... enjoy what it is & it won't be that way forever unless... you fall in love with being single!!
ReplyDeletethanks for following my blog, i ♥ yours!!
