The Great Divide

Whether I want to believe it or not, there is (and will always be) a great divide between single girls and relationship girls. I never really considered myself a “relationship girl” while in college. Sure, I had a boyfriend that lasted a year, but I focused primarily on myself and my success during those years, so I never quite experienced this divide in full effect. Yet, since my graduation day, I’ve yet to go an entire month without being truly single….and it’s been 3 years.

I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with this, but this “Great Divide” that I speak of has smacked me in the face a couple of times because of my interminable relationship status. Lately I’ve been noticing how much my single friends are on the prowl when they go out and it must be such a drag to bring a friend that can’t act as a wingman (-woman) without feeling guilty. I get it – I’d probably do the same.

All these friends seem to stick together and grow closer to one another – I mean, why wouldn’t they? They have something in common that I can no longer relate to. Our thrills and our woes are just different from one another now. I guess that’s just how it goes?
