I am Still Not Settling

Life is too short to not be with the person you really want to be with.

I realized this yesterday and, as cliche as it sounds, it hit me like a ton of bricks.  Lately, I've been watching some of my closest friends settle for someone who isn't their first choice.  I can't lie to them and say that that's okay, and that they should just settle for a sweet guy.  Never settle.  They have the opportunity to choose to be with the person that they really want to be with.  I no longer have that choice.

It's a precious, valuable choice to have.  I can't sit by and watch them squander it.

Honestly, Zachary is still the man who would be my first choice.  If I had the option to be with him, I would.  But I don't have that choice.  I will not allow that to make me settle.  I will be single for as long as it takes to find someone who can be my first choice.

Many of you still have the opportunity to make that choice.  So leave nothing unsaid.  And never settle for less than the true desire of your heart.
