Girls will be girls

Let me lay things out for MOST ladies who live in the city and are from suburbia originally. 

It's amazing to have those friends who all come from the same understandings.  The married couples of Chicago [that still live in the city] are fantastic and don't make their single friends feel….well…..singled out.

However, any trip home for those of us who are from suburbs, it leaves the feeling of extreme loneliness, err….okay not the right term, but I hope you can figure out what I'm saying.
The feeling that those people who are married and settled down back in your home town have their shit together.

Here's where I stand though, I tell myself that after the years of living in a city and having plenty of ups and downs with the stress of working, living in the city, paying increasing rents, etc….I now have SO much knowledge of where I stand as an independent woman who provides for herself in a larger city--it makes me feel good.
And as far as the good, bad and ugly when it comes to my dating adventures, I am happy that I have met/dated the men I have in the city because I know that when I meet the right person, I will know.  I've been open, I've learned things about myself, I've learned things about what I won't tolerate…….

I have learned that I have the greatest group of people who I can happily call friends and call them my Chicago family who will be around and will put their two cents in to make sure that when I do find the right things/people in life, it's my best choices.

Us woman have the ups and downs [aka Female Bi-polar….I diagnose this myself…you're welcome!] but without it, we're just stuck in a small bubble and will always wonder.
So…branch out, do something you've never thought you'd like/do/try. Make some new friends. Try a new hairstyle or a bold choice in makeup/lipstick.

Until the next post….xoxo
