Once upon a time, Cinderella went to the ball, fell in love with the prince, and lived happily ever after. Sounds familiar, right? But let's not forget that Cinderella never had to worry about maintaining a reasonable GPA, a fitness obsessed society, and the ever changing world; on the other hand, prince charming certainly never showed up in a toga with a red solo cup in hand. Does anyone else feel like this story is just the tiniest bit outdated?
But yet, all good stories start with "once upon a time." While this phrase implies a "happily ever after" to follow, I'd like to look at it as just a beginning. And it is.
Currently, I'm a freshman in college and that is a huge beginning to itself. As of now, I'm attempting to navigate all of the new aspects of my life just being thrown at me. Sometimes, I feel like with all this new stuff, it's like the mother bird that throws its children out of the nest and chirps: "Fly, birds!" and that's exactly what I want to write about: that experience itself in life and love.
The Single Girl In
Love is about me, "J," the single girl, exploring the three loves
of my life: food, music, and love. I want to share with you some of my favorite
recipes, along with tips and tricks I've picked up on the way. I'd also like to
have a weekly feature called "Music Mondays" to share a song. I'm a
strong believer that music can change a mood in a second. At least it does for
me and I want to share those songs! When it comes to love, this is where I get
to unleash my inner Carrie Bradshaw. I want to share my journey of finding,
losing, and keeping love in my life, whether it be romantic, friendly, or
familial. Essentially, I want to share my story - one that's waiting to be
written - just like Cinderella's regardless of a "happily ever
after."
I want to enjoy cooking till the day I die.
I want each and every song to hold a memory - I want to be able to tell my story through music (e.g. "this song came out when I had my first boyfriend" "I listened to Colbie Caillat while unpacking my dorm". You get the jist.)
I want to fall utterly, entirely, and completely head over heels in love - someday.
eat. listen. love.
-- J
