Singles Awareness Day

It's the day all single girls avoid at all costs, Valentines Day. This year was one of the first times in recent memory that I wasn't even a little upset about the 'holiday'...and I think it's because I have so many other things to be happy about this year. I know this probably should have happened around New Years but, it's coming a little late. I looked back at where I was in my life last February 14 and I've come so far!


First things first, I got a job that I love. I am an Executive Assistant at a Social Media Marketing company in NYC that is blowing up! I know being an assistant can suck, but I have an awesome boss. I also work with amazing people. Work is the best when you're guaranteed to laugh at least 10 times during the day. 


I also moved to New York which has been my dream since I first saw the movie Coyote Ugly (saw that before I saw Sex and the City). At one point last year I really didn't know if I'd ever get here...but, per usual in my life, I knew what I wanted and I did everything in my power to get here. I now live in a semi-little (although not for the price range), super cute apartment on the Upper East Side. It was hard to leave knowing that this wasn't like college, that I wouldn't be coming back home, but I've officially moved on to my next stage of life!


I also have amazing friends. This past weekend I got to spend some time with 2 of my best friends from college and it was a great night. Moving to the city, I was afraid that I wouldn't have many great friends here for a while, but I actually moved in with a few close friends who already lived in (or around) the City...and have made some great ones since I've been here!


With all of these amazing things happening in my life I guess I feel that I don't need a relationship to be happy on Valentines Day. It'd be nice to have a boyfriend to send flowers to my office, but after all is said and done, I'm in a great place in my life and don't feel that I need need a relationship to make me happy. If it came around, that'd be even better (!) but I'm also totally cool without it at the moment. There are millions of men in the City, chances are that I'll find one eventually!
