Just thinking

My mind kept racing before I went to bed last night. I was thinking of how I tend to do a lot of things alone in my spare time. I also realized that I don’t have many single male or female friends. Everyone I know is married or pretty much engaged.

It really hit me that I am alone when it comes to making plans. I used to be able to hit up my single friends to hang out all the time. Even with Trey, I’ve accepted that he can’t hang out as much because he has a family now. Ana is the only single friend I have, but she lives in SC. We do spend a lot of time together when she makes her way up here or when I drive up her way.

I do realize that I have the freedom to do whatever I want to do. I asked on facebook if anyone wanted to go to the Falcons vs Panthers two years ago, but no one wanted to go. I just decided to go ahead and just go. That’s also why I went on ahead and flew to Indiana last year and planning my Chicago trip this year.

It is fun and liberating to be able to just go, but at the same time, it would be nice to have others who wants to go too. I’m not talking about dating but having someone else to tag along with. When I do have time to go out, it’s inconvenient for anyone else. And unfortunately, my family isn’t too interested in what I like to do.

I do wonder though. Do married people have more single friends or married friends?

I’m thinking of taking another trip this year. Ana mentioned wanting to travel to NY together in the fall, but we may have to pass on that. I might rent a car and drive somewhere in the southeast. I have yet gone to a college football game, so I could make the 2 hour drive to Auburn. I could also decide to drive to Charlotte, again, for the Falcons/Panthers game. I’ve always wanted to drive to Myrtle Beach and stay in my dad’s favorite hotel. Hotel prices are too expensive for my taste heh. I might just take a weekend and drive to Savannah or something. I’m not sure, but I would love to take another trip somewhere before Fall gets here.

Time for me to get off of here and catch up on my shows on netflix.

I completely agree! If you were up here we could hang out.

I’m the only one of my friends who is married. I have a couple in relationhips, but it doesn’t really affect the time we spend together and I make time for friends no matter what. Then again, we’ve all been friends for a long long time so I don’t know if that makes a difference.. I think it’s great that you’re taking the initiaive and still doing things you want to do 🙂 That’s very important! I’d love to go with you to Chicago!!

I can totally relate. I have done so many things on my own the past 2 years. Most trips I take alone. All of my friends are married too. They are too busy for me. You and Josh are the only single friends I have that are fairly local. I do know other single people but more like acquaintances. It would have been fun to go to NYC for sure. But it looks like I won’t be going anywhere for the next several years.
