"Then I met"

so, being typical 20 year olds, my friends and i talk about love and marriage...a lot. i just feel a lot of pressure seeing as my parents married at nineteen, my sisters all in their early twenties, and then there's me...not even dating anybody. anyways, to keep my friends and i from drowning ourselves in the bathtub, i have adopted a little philosophy. it's called "and then i met..." it's like this: when someday down the road i'm telling the story (of my life) i'll start with the things i have done in the past i.e. mostly just having good friendships with guys, dating a couple of guys but nothing too serious, dedicating a semester to God and not being involved with guys at all and finally being open to whatever vocation comes along. then the story will change with the words "AND THEN I MET" it doesn't matter at all what came before because after those words is whats important. you can predict all you want what will come after those words, but you will never know until it happens. i can say that i want to marry a man who's older than me, from a certain state, looks a certain way...but how can i know. it's all gonna change. and the best part is that if i'm living in God's will, it'll turn out in the absolute perfect way.

so, don't feel lonely. you never know what tomorrow will bring!
