I just thought I'd share something that God REALLY showed me with what has happened within the past week...*cough* you two (Amanda and Tonya) know what I'm talking about I do believe.
He showed me that I DO NOT NEED A BOYFRIEND TO BE HAPPY! For real! I used to be so sickeningly mopey, and that would be ALL that I'd think about! "If I JUST had a boyfriend, then things would be better, I'd be happier!" Umm...WRONG! There are SO MANY GREAT THINGS ABOUT BEING SINGLE! I am now actually really happy with the fact that I'm single!
Another thing he showed me was that I was NOT putting God as my #1. In all honesty, my #1 has been boys. They were all I'd think about. You could call that boy crazy. Now, I realize how stupid of a thing that was to do! No boy will EVER EVER EVERRR love me as much as God does! No boy will ever sacrifice more than Jesus did! But I mean, if I already didn't put God as my #1, how much harder would it be if I had a boyfriend?
I honestly think that America's culture pressures teenagers to be in a relationship! It's got girls thinking "I've never had a boyfriend, so I must not be good enough." It's got you thinking that if you don't have a boyfriend, then something is wrong with you. Honestly, it bugs me more than anything when adults (especially Aunts and Uncles) ask me "Well why don't YOU have a boyfriend, Kirstin?" Since I've never had one, I'm surprised they haven't asked my parents if I'm gay.
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that I don't need a boyfriend right now. I have tons of friends who love me and who I enjoy being around, and that's enough for me! I know that I have a bunch of friends who I can go to if I ever need a hug or need to talk about whatever!
So goodbye, sappy/mopey/lame Kirstin!
Sincerely,
The Single One

You are so stinkin' smart. I wish other girls thought the same way you did. I wish I had thought that way when I was your age. It took me a little bit longer to figure all this out. And even though I know it now, I still have to remind myself to be content.
