Try not thinking about being single. A lot of times what we dwell on makes us stagnant and stuck there.
Take this time to focus on making yourself a better person, stay in touch with your friends, never turn down an invitation, get involved in something new ( a sport, volunteering, school, hobby ).
And remember... the old saying.. "You Are Right Where You Are Suppose To Be".... and be at peace with that place.
Wait until you're 46, you'll miss certain things about being 26
Lol, I think that the hard thing is that you no longer have the carefreeness (if that's a word) of being young, but you don't have the stability of being older. You are in between.
Thanks for the advice and encouragement..and yes theoretically I'm not supposed to be comparing myself to my friends but the reality of it is that I feel the sting when I see them with their SO having a good time and being happily in love.
Normally I'm fine but today I was struck with sadness as I looked at my friend's baby registry, I had to toggle over to my Neiman's tab to keep from crying. Louboutins always make me smile, lol.

You don't want a baby now! There is plenty of time for that. And Louboutins would make me smile too. Pick me up a pair!

Hey, everyone can have a down moment, you're only human.
One thing I had to learn to transition to in my 20's was how to go from being jealous of those who had something I didn't, to accepting that when it was my time to have such-and-such I would, and until then I would spend energy only being happy for those around me that were enjoying good fortune.
It you practice doing that for a while it becomes second nature and NOTHING can ever make you feel jealous or inadequate again
It was great, we could go night fishing and stay out all night. We used to pull allnighters working on our muscle cars also. Half the time we were boozing it up while we were doing it. You got home just in time to shower and get dressed. Back to work, and didn't feel it. I still can stay up like that, but I feel it the next day. My Dad laughs at me and tells me "it's gonna get much worse, you haven't even started yet"! Thanks Dad, something to look forward to!LOL...........
