Day 18/31 Five Minute Free Writes: Search

Day 18

When I was young and single, really from high school through my twenties, I’d look at couples and wonder how they’d met each other.  Out of all the people in the world, it seemed as if everyone had a partner, except me.  I’d look at couples and get jealous that they had found someone to love them.  I’d even get jerky, and think to myself, “If THAT girl can find someone, what’s wrong with me?”  It seemed I was on an exhausting, frustrating quest to find “the one.”  Finally, once I hit thirty, I decided I was done looking. I was tired of being let down and so I decided that I was going to embrace being single.  I loved living alone in Denver, had a job I loved, snowboarded every weekend in the winter, and hiked even more in the spring, summer, and fall.  And so of course, once my heart was content, that’s when I met the man to whom I’ve been married for four years today.  On a 150 mile, 3 day bike ride fundraiser for Children’s Hospital Colorado through the mountains.
