Dee is a good friend of a good friend. She’s always been the kind of girl that you expect to be married but hasn’t jumped off that cliff yet. Yes, it’s a cliff.
We ran into each other while helping pack up our mutual friends kitchen for a move. The last time I saw her, she had lost her mojo and was feeling ready for change.
Dee works in television and has been living on the road, producing segments for the past year. We talked about how the hotel rooms, condos and transient friends can lead to shifts in your thinking about life. She told me how the shift from girl to woman happens when you step outside of the box.
It was apparent that she was out there doing something for herself instead of sitting back in her comfort zone dealing with bad office politics. She’s taking risks with her life. Making leaps and bounds without a well mapped out landing. It’s hard to be a single girl looking for something beyond love. Dee wants more than a boyfriend, she wants to come into her own.
I think she has come to a point in her life where being single does not define her. I have never seen her more content, more confident or more sure of who she has become.
Mad props to Dee.
