Take a look at part due of my solo single girl's road trip I took this past summer... highlights in my hair, sun kissed skin... It was 3 weeks of me, driving around California, going where I wanted, doing what I wanted when I wanted, seeing who I wanted (or didn't want) to see.. My solo trip taught me a lot about myself, the kindness of my friends, and the magical freedom of being... dare I say it?? Single.
Being single is such a tough life...
we single people take 3 week long road trips,
and visit cool places alone like.. wineries in Napa
We take the time to smell the roses
and pay attention to the details
We wonder what it would be like
to be a statue and pose as such
We do not go anywhere "escorted"
We venture off and do our own thing,
be it down a lonely path or through a crowded street...
We paint our nails red
and have non-professionals take our photo..
We come across many lonely paths...
in fact, we seek them out!
We are like fountains,
we put out only to replenish ourselves
(take that however you'd like)
We study plants and their scientific names.
We capture ourselves in reflections,
i.e., the artistic selfie
We see light at the end of our
dark, dreary, lonely path,
and it's usually accompanied by wine
We stand in complete awe at our awesome loneliness
We watch the World Cup
at public places
where there's plenty of beer
Doors are everywhere
We stand and stare at
crop dusters wondering
if the pesticides will kill us
