A milestone in life....

I know most people now adays are hitting milestones like marriage... Me, I have been in North Carolina for one year. I have been away from my family and friends who love me for one entire year. Yay me.... People have admired me for being brave. I guess it was a big step to move down here not knowing anyone and making it all by myself. I did have someone to get me through the first 11 months and I would like to thank him... but now I'm alone. Not alone completely, I mean, I have good friends and people who care about me, but I'm alone.

I keep setting myself up for heartache for some reason. Hoping and praying that people can change. I guess I was wrong. I don't know why I let it get me down because I CAN be alone. I CAN exist without someone beside me. I will say it's getting harder with age... When I was younger, being alone was nothing to me. Now, I'm starting to really search for my soulmate and I'm starting to wonder if he's even out there. Sometimes I think I see him, sometimes I think I even talk to him... And then I see the true person. I guess everyone does that though... hopes and dreams... waiting for the knight in shining armor to come sweep her off her feet and tell her kind words and rope the moon for her. Someone who would give up vises to keep the love of their life. Boy, I wish I could meet someone like that... I guess I need to keep on wishing....

Celebrating my milestone alone.....
