why bother...

Lately i've just been feeling so empty. Almost everything in my life is going well. Work is fantastic, my children are happy, my friends are amazing, my family is loving and supportive, i've been actively dating, just not a whole lot to complain about. Yet at the end of the day, when i lay down in bed and try to calm my thoughts, i feel as though something is missing. I've relied on my faith so much lately to help guide me and to support me through the transistions of life. I feel like i've strengthened my faith and it's the strongest it's ever been, however, there's still that feeling of emptyness. how do i alleviate it? i honestly do not believe it has to do with the lack of a partner, because right now if i were to obtain one, i would just be settling. I refuse to settle. it's not worth it just to say i have someone, especially when i want to be the most postive role model i can be for my children. i never want them to think it's okay to settle for anything in life, but especially not for the person you build your life with. So hopefully this is just a fleeting emotion that will soon move on. that's my hope. tomorrow is a new and joyous day.
