Confession Wednesday: once Blue now New

Confession #7:

 For the past couple years,

I have had a very bitter outlook

on marriage.

Like, extremely bitter.

I won't go into details as to why,

 but I made up my mind that

I would remain completely independent

(for some reason I decided marriage robbed one of all independence)

and 

go to graduate school

and 

adopt a black baby

and 

have a trendy loft apartment

and

do all these things solo...because

I would

never ever

want to

get

married.

That was my "no exceptions" decision...

until time healed some wounds

and

family and friends helped get me out of my funk

and 

I created a gosh darn Pinterest account.

I already talked about how this website is ruining my life

HERE

by making me want to do nothing but

braid my hair

reupholster furniture

make wreaths out of fuzz balls and yarn

sew couch pillows

bake things

paint my nails

landscape my nonexistent backyard

etc etc etc.

Well, Pinterest is also aiding

in reigniting my wish to {one day...no rush, no worries} get married.

I mean, how do you not want to tie the knot after you see this

And this

And this

And this

Barf, it's just too much

and 

I kind of like 

every bit of it.

I don't know when I'll get married

or

to whom I will marry,

but to that mystery dude of mine:

I am in no way perfect

but 

I know a lot about nutrition and gangster rap.

I have a lot of street cred and can protect you if need be.

I am obsessed with lingerie (this is where you fist pump and say "score").

I can drive stick shift while eating frozen yogurt.

I am very loyal, kind of like a dog or something.

 I make really good guacamole (this is also where you fist pump and say "score").

Boredom complaints aside, I love being at church and learning there.

I usually smell lovely.

 I am a pretty cry-er and have a lady-like laugh (okay this line's a lie).

I am still planning on grad school. And possibly the black baby.

Thanks to Pinterest, we will definitely still have a trendy home.

I will love you for time and all eternity.

  

Thank you

time,

 supportive family,

close friends,

and of course

Pinterest

for helping me be more positive

and realize

 I do not need to be

a n t i - m a r r i a g e

in order to be

p r o - i n d e p e n d e n c e
