I know that might sound like a funny question at first but it is a true question. What is even stranger is that I got up this morning thinking that. Some events lead up to it but still. Here I am almost 27 in a "big" city in AR and been here for 3 years and nothing. I had some guy friends here and there but most of them are too busy to even say, "hey". The guy friends that I do have are a little bit older then I am. Not only where are the guys but also where are the women of my generation?
It just seems that my generation is too busy and married to their jobs to care about anyone else around them. All my friends are going back to college or work so hard at their jobs that they don't have time for anything extra. I know we have to work a job to live and that is the sad part but what about community and love. What about a family and getting to know each other personally as I'm writing on a blog? The more and more that I look at it the more and more I get upset with everything. There is way too much technology and we have to work way too much to keep up with people and get more things. The things costs so much more then they use to.
If I could go back and start my life all over again, I would go back to a year where there wasn't this technology. I would go back to where you had to write letters or talk on the phone or heaven forbidden, go see them or get together with them just to keep up. Yes, I am a very personal person and I have always been. I might not seem like that around a big group of people but I love to get to know people. It takes time but it is great. I also believe that all this new stuff is keeping people back from wanting to say what they really want and feeling what they really want to feel. Remember that first time you got a note in the 3rd grade from a cute boy asking you out? Remember that time you had a blast outside hunting or fishing? Remember that time where you explored the woods while climbing the trees? Remember that time where parents taught their kids at home?
I am so out of date because that is what I want my life to be like and I want a guy who understands and wants that too but it is too hard to find that anymore. There are only a few out there far between. Most guys are married to their work and that is the only thing they want to do. That and very few guys have any manners anymore. Girls have been let down so many times that they just give up or lower their standards and that makes the guys lower their standards too. It is a wave affect. Both of us need to take a stand and change it.
How can you feel love or even hate when it happens over Facebook or texting? How can you so that someone made you mad or sad? You just hold that in until it builds up and that is not good either. It builds up from past relationships and breaks ones you are in now or do things you will regret later on in life. People feel like they can't share things personally anymore because it will be all over the internet or people will know it before they see that person again. We don't have time to fix anything when we mess up and it just keeps getting bigger by getting more people involved in it so easily even when they shouldn't be involved.
As a girl, I might have high standards for a guy but in my case it fits who I am and what I want to do in the future and if I have to be by myself that is okay with me. Guys, I'm not that high standard just to let you know. I am a true Christian girl that is messed up and I want a true Christian guy that can handle that and can admit that he is messed up too but yet together we can grow together in God. Whatever God will have that look like? Is that too much to ask for in this day and age? Seems like it most days. Guys and Girls, this is just something to think about. Are you the person that you are looking for? If not, are you praying that God will make you into that person?
"Today is a blank page. Yes, there are some things that need to be written in, and you could surrender your pen to them, letting events, exceptions, tests, and the judgements of others write this chapter. Or, you could take some time with God, that author and completer of your Faith and start writing today as the adventure He shows you it can be."-Rob Coscia "My heart is overflowing with a good theme as I recite my composition for the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer."- Psalm 45:1
