the ball
Hey all you bloggers out there!!
This could be a long entry just to warn you all. Well last night was the ball that I had been telling you all about. What a night it was. Was I the belle of the ball? No…but someone did say they thought I looked like a princess, which I thought was very sweet. Bless her. Everybody looked amazing!! It was such a good night! The dancing was great, but people kept standing on my dress lol!! Happens all the time though. Everybody had great masks too, there were so pretty!! My darling sister was looking absolutely gorgeous, and Suzanne, the girl who invited me…was stunning!! My poor sister had a touch of sun stroke, but she tried not to let it ruin her night, which it didn’t. one thing that did kinda disappoint me a little was that they sold alcohol. I don’t grudge people drinking don’t get me wrong…I just wasn’t expecting it.
Did I find my prince? I’ll let you know. But lets just take a minute to think…how would I identify my prince? Would he be the guy who asked me to dance with him to every dance even though I kept saying no? Would he be the guy who only considers me a secret friend and won’t speak to me face to face? Would he be the guy who notices just the little chances in me and who remembers the silly things I say? Would he be the guy who saw me from across the room and couldn’t stop looking? Or would he be the guy who treated me the same at the ball as out with the ball? How am I to know? Please feel free to help me out you all, because I don’t know. But I do know this…life in the single lane, aint always easy, especially at events like a ball. You go there, knowing very few people and the few males you know, don’t ask you to dance leaving you to dance with the two girls that you came with. But if you had a boyfriend, then you would always have a partner right? I was reminded of that last night.
In the joy of the night, because believe me it was a great night, a part of me felt so lonely. I was surround by friends (well, kind of) and still felt kind of empty. Someone mentioned a seminar that he had attended about singleness I guess, and the preacher had said something like “you all go and find a wife asap” which I don’t agree with. I think sometimes people think that being single is a time for looking and seeking a partner, when actually, it aint. Going back to Eden, look at Adam. He was asleep when Eve was created, he didn’t search for her, but worked unto the Lord and sought a relationship with Him. Falling his example aint always easy trust me I know. I’ve been single now for almost one year, 4 months and it has had it’s up’s and down’s..as life does have in general. I think sometimes we feel that if we have someone, things will be ok. Like, we will never be alone, we will always have someone to talk to, to dance with, to go long walks with, to simply talk to. To comfort and be comforted by, to get a hug from when you need it most…these are all things that I feel I’m deprived of.
Shame!! You don't always get what you want though right?
peace

I believe I was one of those guys you knew who didn't ask you to dance. Apologies. I did try though! I looked over to you and I thought you were looking at me so I gestured as if to ask you to dance, however, you weren't looking and another girl I know was and thought I was motioning towards her! So I did try!
