The next day, I was chilling with another girlfriend and she mentioned she was featured on a national network as an expert and made light of it as well. It got me to wondering if both of these single females had similar thought processes to mine. I don't really shout to the world or anybody when cool things happen in my life (confession, I do shout to my mum). I actually down play them for the most part. However, I will talk to my closest male and female friends more about my struggles.
Just as I concluded that single women don't toot their horns enough, a male friend who I haven't seen in ages tells me he's scooping me because I've been in MIA. I laughed and said ok. We go out and are shooting the breeze and just enjoying life. I tease him and say that he's more than welcome to crash at my pool in the evenings like he's done for years and he tells me he bought a house last month that happens to have a pool. I'm elated but had an "a ha" moment that it's not single women - it's quite possibly a single people complex.
We don't have that one person outside of family that at the end of the day will truly embrace all of our A to Z moments. Sure we have friends, but let's be real - there can sometimes be boundaries about what you discuss. All of this to say, I plan on really embracing life's moments that deserve to be celebrated. So if you happen to be friend and you're reading this - I'm celebrating graduations, promotions, learning to cook a new dish, hanging a picture, and well you get the picture.
