I got the song stuck in my head so I figured I would just go with it and write about single women. :)
I want to say this first: Girls, if you are single, whether it is through choice or through not having much luck, take the time to embrace this. You really need this time in order to become solid in who you are as an individual. Have a strong understanding of your strengths, weaknesses, and know what you want to be better at before you get into something. Its a lot harder to do these things once you get into a relationship because you have another person's view of you already in place. They see you as a certain way. Also, assuming they are committed to you, will love you no matter what, and love can be blinding. I would really suggest taking this time to make sure that anything they could turn a blind eye to is something trivial, like biting your nails! ;)
For those who are just getting out of a relationship: I know how much it sucks. I have been there before. However, keep this in mind- you're no longer in it for a reason. Either the other person isn't who you thought you were, they did something to hurt you, or anything else you can think of. But if these things happened, then you don't need to put up with it. If anything, it should show you that you're better than your situation.
Making it widely known that you're single is also just going to scare guys. Honestly, if a guy were to look at a girl and she has "PICK ME! PICK ME!" written all over her, it sends off a message that you're extremely desperate. It says "I don't care who you are or if we're compatible, I just don't want to be single anymore." Do you really want to give a potential significant other that message? Same goes for those who are "overly ready" to get married and settle down. This makes others believe that if they get into a relationship with you, they would have to go that far with you if they wanted to be with you, or risk severely hurting you. Most of us want to get married and settle down, but you need to let things run its course.
*Insert chirping voice coming from the back of the room* But Bridget, you're in a relationship now- how can you say any of this?
Glad you asked, chirping voice!
I am currently in a relationship but I have learned that pushing things just because it seemed like the "next step" or "the thing to do" because I had to learn the hard way (through break ups and nasty fights) that things need to naturally run its course. If someone wants to settle down with you and stay with you, then that's great. But forcing this won't help your situation any.
And if you're not with someone at the moment, that just means you haven't found the one for you yet. Take this time to just enjoy being you, instead of part of a team.
Trust me, you and future relationship(s) will thank me for it!

Free time+YouTube=This!
So I came across this video while I was looking around YouTube. Hmmm. When I typed in YouTube, the little red dots showed up underneath to show that I was spelling something wrong... tsk tsk. My spell check has no idea how important YouTube is to our society. That's a shame. Anyways!
After watching this video I realized that it would be so much fun to just walk around, going about my daily business and film it all. Oh, and make sure to add commentary.
Question for my readers: If you could videotape yourself doing something random and give commentary on it, what would it be and why?

Light Enveloped
Fog reaches out,
Across the vast sky.
Light enveloped by mischievous hands,
Running through their spacious yard.
While the lot lacks illumination,
The treasure shines bright.
Let the world see the beauty
That was once evasive-
Within the Cosmos
Their bodies roam free, but
You keep the prisoner captive
And have your claim.
While the clouds reach out
And find their celestial bodies.
The children perfect their skill
Of capturing elusive fireflies.
Watch as the both light up with joy
As they keep eye over their reward.
Ok so lately I have just been thinking in terms of poetry. Not sure why! I thought about this while I was riding in a car at night and it literally looked as if a cloud had reached out and grabbed a star, the same way a child would try to catch a firefly. So of course, my first reaction was "oooh, how pretty!" and voila, another poem is born. :)

Drop of Water
Drop of water-- among paper
Crawls outward to escape
It isn't vain-- a
Design-- mind of its own
Walk away-- fix it later
Such odd forgetfulness...
You cannot--fix
What is already stained.
Disappointment-- follows, and
Frustration-- rises
Scrap it, rip it, repel it
Try to forget--
Always moving along-- tides
Forbidden-- thus hid
Round two
Kind words-- laced with impatience.
Episodic meltdowns.
Drop of water-- among paper
Crawls outward to escape...
I always thought water was the most interesting substance. Water will fight and move. It holds on to its container and will even climb its walls.
When I was a little kid and riding in the car when it was raining out, I would watch the rain drops on the car window. I used to pretend that the bigger rain drop was some sort of hero that picked up the smaller rain drops so they wouldn't have to be alone. They always moved faster once they were together and promoted team work in my mind. I would feel sad for the raindrops that didn't have a hero to save them. Some were definitely more shy than others. Some slowly danced along the glass and eventually tagged another drop as if to say "I want you to come and dance with me!"
I also always found it amazing that something so simple could be so vital to our existence. We are made up of it, and still manage to need a lot more of it. We are quite the water needy beings. Two hydrogen molecules and an oxygen molecules. So basic and fundamental.
On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” —John 7:37-38
