Selfishly Single With Consequences?

Today I sat across the desk from one of my co-workers and almost burst into tears.  In an effort to hold on to a little bit of my dignity, I was able to suck it in and keep my voice from quivering too much.  The topic...decisions and how they may affect my future.

The thing about being selfish in your singleness is that there are always consequences to every decision that you make.  In an attempt to deal with a current problem, I have to consider the long term effects that my decision may have.  Will it make me a less desirable candidate for a mate in the future?  What will a partner say about my situation?

But here is the deal.  You cannot live your life with a future possible in mind.  This is not spades.  You play the cards that you have.  There are no possible books.  Why?  Because you don't have someone sitting across the table from you with their own hand that you are teaming up with.  It's you. The cards that you hold are all that you have and when you are playing against the game of life, we don't deal in possible.  We deal in facts.

With that truth tucked victoriously under my belt, I moved forward with a tough decision that I have to make.  I am a family of one and financially I have to be able to take care of my family of me.

Singles--know this.  You have to do the best with the information that you have.  Pay attention to the future, but don't base wise decisions on whether or not you will be marketable to someone in the future.
