You’re mad. Bonkers. Off your head. But I’ll tell you a secret; all the best people are.
- Alice in Wonderland
As I am getting older, I feel the pressure to get married (especially in the LDS culture). It's just not that easy. When I was in my early 20s at BYU, I thought I hit the jackpot of single, LDS men. However, I was no where near ready to date seriously, let alone get married. I had a lot growing up to do. I am now one of the many people who left BYU unmarried, which hasn't phased me so much until recently. I am fighting the internal battle of becoming complacent with being single and being overly anxious to get married. It's hard to find the middle ground when I know the next step is marriage, yet I still enjoy the single life.
I like this phrase, "Be someone who makes you happy" because while I am fighting my internal battle, it easy to forget about my self worth. I want to be happy; married or not.
What it comes down to is there is no specific time line that everyone needs to follow. The grass is always greener on the other side... This is my life, and I am happy to be living it.

This is great, Skye. They say it happens when you least expect it, and there is something to that. When people are not overanxious one way or another they're more fun to be with and get to know so maybe that's why it happens more often when we are happy where we are, with whom we are.
i love you so much.
