Hey Single Ladies, this is what I believe!

I can't stop singing "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...etc", followed by "if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it". I love the beat of this song. It's catchy, it's exciting, it's a club hopping, tenny bobbing, young girls answer to fun and easy hip hop dancing. However, my gut reaction was, and I quote my thoughts "Beyonce, REALLY? There must have been warning signs that this guy didn't treat you right. Ending my thoughts with, "He seems like a jerk!" and "Why are young women so obsessed with marriage anyway?"

Okay, so yeah, this is a little too much analyzing for a Beyonce song! However, strangely, this tune triggered my thoughts on relationships and marriage. Here goes:

-I believe some women are so focused on getting married and having children before a certain age that they end up overlooking their happiness and what is important to them as an individual within a relationship.
-I believe the most important parts of a relationship are kindness, communication and respect.
-I believe I should wait for these important parts even if it exceeds my personal goals and time tables.
-I believe if I don't wait, I risk not getting the fullest out of life and love.
-I believe I would rather nurse a million broken hearts than spend time with a man that didn't treat me the way I wanted to be treated.
-I believe I will find love and I'm not scared to wait.
-I believe I am happy single and this will allow me to be happy in a relationship.
-I believe my gut instincts are always correct.
-I believe these are my thoughts and feelings and are right for me and the person I am.

So to all the single ladies, this is what I believe. Take from it what you will!

AND to end this lovely blog entry. I've added a few pictures of my friends and I pole dancing at Flirty Girl Fitness for Jen's "Still Hardcore at 34" birthday party. Don't judge me, it was a blast!


The single lady crew!

I might just be single forever, ha!
(I don't actually believe that) :)
