The song "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks played in my mind throughout the weekend. You will find that I tend to use song lyrics a lot-- I don't know if you've ever heard the Delilah show on the radio, well I am the future Delilah..my friends laugh because I can always find the "perfect" song to say how I'm/they're feeling or to put a situation or experience in perspective.
This weekend while in Utah I saw an old crush from college that I was crazy about back in the day; he and I always had the best time together! We've stayed in contact off and on and this weekend I saw him for the first time in years. It was really good to see him and once again we had a lot of fun together but it was different. Life is funny that way, as we grow up and experience dating there comes those relationships that in the moment seem so perfect, then it doesn't work out and you're crushed; as time passes you wonder what might have been. With each relationship comes different lessons learned and for me I've discovered thru dating the qualities I'm looking for in my partner and also the things I should maybe be more cautious of. I've developed a clearer perspective on what's really important in the long run. As excited as I am for the future and the opportunity to have a family of my own someday, I truly am grateful for those "unanswered prayers"! Looking back I can say that as hard as it sometimes seems I am grateful that I'm single; that I didn't marry the person I thought I wanted to marry when I was younger. Today I am more sure and confident in who I am as a woman, as a person and what I have to offer!
