What's the rush?

There is a bit of an issue that I want to address which had taken over my brain for the last few weeks. I think as women sometimes we find ourselves getting caught up in issues like needing to be in a relationship or feeling pressure to get married or meet the "one". We drive ourselves mad over it and we sometime destroy the good relationships that we already have in our lives over it.

I think that young women need to concentrate on building their own lives before they are truly able to give them selves to another person. You need to know where you stand as a person and if the other person truly cares enough for you.. they will wait. As cheesy and cliche as that sounds.. its true.

I found myself getting worked up about a situation which barely even existed this past weekend and it wasn't until a friend told me that I am "wasting my youth" on these sorts of non-existent problems. She told me that the life I build is what will stay with me forever where as my youth won't. I should enjoy my youth while it lasts rather than wasting it right now on situations and people that are just causing me stress.

Different, opinionated.. disagreeable for some.. I'm sure. But as I sit here reorganizing my thoughts and getting myself back in to a place where I can function.. I feel like she is right.

From someone who is a serial dater.. take your time and enjoy your youth.. because I am just learning how to :)

P.S. I figured for such a serious topic.. we might as well enjoy some Chanel Haute Couture in addition to my favorite man in the world; Karl Lagerfeld (of course).
