I'm trying to get used to the idea that maybe love isn't in the cards for me.

I realize I'm only 20. I realize there is a TON of time to meet someone. But there are also people who spend their entire lives alone (some willingly but still). That could be me. Especially considering my lifestyle - or more accurately my lack of a lifestyle.

It'd be awfully cruel on the world's part. I'm the textbook girl who watches too many romantic comedies and is obsessed with the idea of love. Maybe that's part of the problem.

But I'm trying to prepare myself for a life alone. Because even though it hopefully won't happen, it might. And I don't want to spend my whole life waiting for someone/something.

So if I do spend my life alone, I'm going to do it with style. I'm saving money now so I can afford a house on my own. I'm going to be the most kick-ass aunt in the world. I'll have a loyal dog who will keep me company.

I'll be just fine on my own. I just hope I don't have to be.
