I've seen several bright, stalwart, beautiful women approach age 30 single & heartbroken & I don't get it. WHY are such vibrant women single while some of the ditziest girls I've known are married? It makes no sense to me. I also wanted to say that everyone experiences heartache and it may not be from the same things, but everyone struggles. EVERYONE. In the past year+, I've found myself looking at people's problems or their complaints on Facebook & I do a mental evaluation. I compare their issues to mine & see who "wins" by having the worse lot in life. I take great comfort in winning these little competitions, but when someone else "wins" I am instantly forced to swallow my pride & it's not an easy thing to do. One of my New Year's resolutions is to try to feel & show empathy. Just because my friend is complaining about how expensive something is & her husband makes probably 4 times what my husband makes, doesn't make her struggle less of a struggle to her. Each person's struggles are framed in their experiences. I am sorry for your struggle. I wish I had a fabulous guy for you or could wave a magic wand & make your hurt disappear. So many people who have been wonderful friends to me are struggling and it breaks my heart. Count your blessings. Look forward with a bright, happy heart. Keep your chin up. The best is yet to be! <br />And that was a novel. Hope that made sense & wasn't insensitive to your struggle :) You're awesome!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569600255965999470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210456031741652241.post-89219985833875375272016-01-07T08:47:21.552-07:002016-01-07T08:47:21.552-07:00Well written.

I agree on some points & not on others...although I married at 20, so what do I know ;) There have been moments where I wondered what I could have done had I not been married so young. Maybe I would have sought for adventure or done a study abroad or traveled more. Maybe I would have had a chance to have a career or save more money. But then again, at 20, even though I had little life experience & little romantic experience, I picked a winner. And after 10 years, we've grown together & experienced together & struggled together. & if I had married someone else at another time, I wouldn't have the kids I have now & they are pretty great. I will say, my life path is not for everyone & there were some hard times early in my marriage that stemmed from both of us being young & immature. That could have been avoided, I suppose, but we overcame it together. And I don't see us falling apart anytime soon...Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569600255965999470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210456031741652241.post-86575808755471019962015-11-18T22:11:53.527-07:002015-11-18T22:11:53.527-07:00ok- as a pre-old maid, steph is gonna be straight ...ok- as a pre-old maid, steph is gonna be straight with you. turning 30 and being single is hard. so hard.<br /><br />BUT after, like 31 and 32 are AMAZING (and I'm not the only one to say that).<br /><br />But I totally get this. Now that I'm on the other side (barely) of "mid-30s" I feel that panic setting in already. I don't wanna be single. and the older I get the harder finding someone will get and.... yeah.<br /><br />be tough! you will survive!

I had to have a pelvic ultrasound a couple months ago (ovarian cysts), and seeing my empty uterus on the screen was one of the saddest moments of my life. And even though I know women who can't have kids, like you say, at least they have their partner in crime to help them through it. My point is that it sucks, and I feel for you. I'm glad that you are honest and public about it. It helps to know that someone else knows how I feel.

It is a tough road to deal with and it's ok to be mad and pissed off about your hair. I remember I was - I was really mad! I was 25 when it happened to me - it's weird to have your hair fall out - so my suggestion is to do on your terms - cut it short and it get some cute scarves -- wigs were crappy and itchy. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
