Back in December on the 31st I had a moment that I’ll remember my entire life. I was laying on my couch alone in my new house drinking red wine and listening to James Taylor in the dark. My cat was on my lap sleeping on her side while the light of the candles shined on her fur. It was New Years Eve and this was the first time I have never had a special someone in my life. It has been over one full year since my last girlfriend, but I never thought anything about it. I noticed that it was 11:55 p.m., so I turned on the television to see what’s going on downtown. I watched the ball drop and I even counted down the seconds to my sleeping cat. Three, two, one and everyone cheered and hugged their loved one then celebrated with a new years kiss to start the new year on a good note. That’s when it hit me that I am alone. I can’t share the moment with anyone or even better yet the New Year with anyone. I’m all alone I thought in my head. Doomed without love. Then I analyzed everything leading up to this lonely depressing moment in my life.

Everyone found out and asked questions about how I feel that my little brother is getting married before me. My parents even made fun of me that I don’t even have a girlfriend, or better yet any prospects. Ridicule was thick in the air and I was the butt of all jokes. Maybe it was time I try the dating scene again.
Since that moment I told myself not to let my feelings get the worst of me, so I went out and bought two puppies that needed some attention and a good home. Bailey was from the country and raised on a ranch, so I figured that I love the country I would love the dog. Bentley was left in a ditch when she was six weeks old and sent to a dog shelter. I heard the sad story regarding the puppy and realized that I have the opportunity to save this pup and show it a new life of love. Now I don’t have the empty feeling in my chest since I have my puppies. I have learned that love needs never to be taken advantage of but embraced to its fullest. I guess at the age of 21 my life isn’t ready for a girlfriend.
