The Struggles of Online Dating

One thing I've learned while being back in the dating game is that some guys are frickin' weird. For funsies, I downloaded Bumble and Tinder shortly after my breakup. Before y'all go freaking out, I'm not looking for a boyfriend. All I want is someone to tell me I'm pretty and take me out to dinner and drinks. The last thing I need or want right now is commitment. Anyways, I thought that these apps would be a great confidence boost and help me get back into the swing of things. I also don't know how to go out and meet a guy because the only guys I know are the ones I work with and I still have yet to meet the love of my life at Target aka the holy land. So here are some of the struggles I've encountered with online dating.

Finding My Happiness

Looking back on this past year, a lot has changed. I know a lot of people say that but this year has been an absolute rollercoaster and full of so many life changes. I started off this year hating my life at the tail end of my Disney College Program. The last few weeks of my DCP were so rough to the point where I was crying almost every day. I couldn't wait to go back to school and have things go back to what I considered "normal life". I got back to school and life was great and then I started to miss Disney. I knew my heart kept calling me back to Disney but my brain was telling to find a job closer to home. I followed my heart after graduation and thought I made the right choice.

Not Home for the Holidays

It's that time of year when the holiday season is in full swing. Between Halloween and Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas and New Years coming up, this is when I really start to miss home. This is my second winter living in Florida and honestly, it hasn't gotten much easier. As much as I love getting to see Christmas decorations at Disney World every day, nothing compares to Christmas at home and with my family. I miss the small things like hating snow so much during any other time of the year but having it bring so much joy waking up to it on Christmas morning. I miss seeing the Christmas tree lit up with presents underneath it brings back that childhood feeling and spending a little too much time with my family. There are so many things I miss but at the same time, I am so grateful of where I get to work and to see Cinderella Castle lit up every night. I get to experience a truly magical time of year in the most magical place.
