Welcomed Change?

[LowCarbLife]

Marriage...that is another thing. I am ready, very ready to settle down now. My BF and I are thinking that we may become engaged next year! I will be so pumped. However, if I were single right now, I probably would have more motivation to go out and have a lot of wild crazy fun! But I am happy where I am with my BF.


haha. Do you ever find a post or comment that you put up a LOOONG time ago and it cracks you up? I was about to comment on a post - and realized I already did months ago.

How time changes. I am now single....not ready to get married (and truthfully not too interested in even a BF right now) and I can tell you this...now that I am single - my desire to go out and have wild crazy fun is at a ZERO.

I would like to find a nice guy to have around. But now my standards and requirements have totally changed. I will NEVER and may I repeat NEVER settle for someone less than what I expect for myself. No more wasting time waiting to get "married" and no more putting my life and goals on hold for someone else.

One thing that I have learned over the last few months is that sometimes change is a breath of fresh air and time to be introspective - regroup and get your life on track. Do what makes you happy...even if it seems lame and you are just laying around in your p.j's watching HGTV.

Ooooh the joys of ups and downs we are all weaving. QLC's UNITE :)

lowcarb, it's great to see that you've welcomed the change and perhaps embraced it by the wording of your post....i've learned this lesson myself with both my job situation and the relationship with my brother....i realize that previous posts of mine sound like whining and jealousy (which they were at the time) but i've also realized in the meantime that i'm lucky to have a job and if i truly want to find a relationship and get out there, i need to take better care of myself so right now i'm relaxing on a saturday night with a cup of coffee and enjoying the time for myself, even though my brother is out and having fun.....my time will come i hope but for now i need to just enjoy what i have.....you never quite know what you will want once a given situation happens.....and i don't think you should settle for just anyone; i think women as they get older (i'm not saying you in particular but so many women in general) start to get desperate and any nice guy who comes along will do but this is not a healthy approach....and a lot of the "nice" guys turn out to be anything but, so you have to look out for yourself.....

I sure do! I sometimes find myself reading old diaries and cringing at things I've written. When I re-read them I reflect to myself: "What were you thinking!?"

Heheh, even laughing at funny things and how daggy I am. :redface: I really hope NO one ever reads them. I would die of embarrassment. :0

haha me too. Recently I was going through some old papers and dug out my old journals from when i was like 13 up through high school....I was so teenyboppery! but at the same time I went right back to who I was at that time.......and became grateful for who I am now.

i think women as they get older (i'm not saying you in particular but so many women in general) start to get desperate and any nice guy who comes along will do but this is not a healthy approach....

reading this I thought: funny, I was actually more desperate when I was younger.

It's so funny when someone pulls up a thread I wrote 3 or 4 years ago when I first joined this site.

It's also reflective of how much this site has actually changed through "the years". A lot of previous regulars have all but disappeared from here. Most likely because their QLC has been resolved and they've moved on.

Yeah, I started out here in my early twenties, and it's really interesting to read the old threads.
