Thanksgiving Clapback

Single for the Holidays
I can totally see why it can be hard to face the family during the holidays. With all these holiday romantic movies and cuffing season in full effect, it's very easy to want to avoid the interrogation you might have to face during the family get together.

Facing the questions
If you're like me, I'd rather not deal with the whole "are you dating yet" or "you don't want
to wait to long and end up alone for the rest of your life" comments. At most family
functions, I get the probating questions about my relationship status. At times, I feel
complied to answer and sometimes I just avoid the question by changing the subject. But
the biggest hurdle is deciding on whether or not I will be attending just so I don't have to
deal with the drama. Although, passing up all the great food just because of a few noisy
people feels like a waste. Here are some helpful ways on surviving the questions.
1- Stay light hearted

There will always be that one family member judging you because you've decided to take
your time and not just settle. There's nothing wrong with waiting. Enjoy this time you have
and take trips, save your money and get to know you. When the time is right love will find
you and sometimes in the most unexpected places.
2- Be Confident

There are those that acting like your singleness is a terminal illness or a punishment and
it's not. It's a total and complete blessing but you must know and believe that or comments
like these will get you every single time. Be proud of your singleness. There's nothing wrong
with being single. It's a choice that you can change when the time is right for you.
3- Enjoy yourself
Life is too short to be walking around with your guard up all time about your relationship
status. Sometime you got to make funny of yourself and know that your family loves you
and only want what's best for you. Sometimes the way they show love can be a little
much but it is from the heart.
In Conclusion
Sometimes facing your family with all their questions about your love life can be very
difficult. At times, the best solutions is to run and hide and that may be necessary in some
cases. But remember tomorrow is not promised and dealing with family drama is apart of
life, we all must eventually face. Just remember don't be so easily offended, be confident
and proud of yourself, and always enjoy yourself. Because you can't get those memories
back. And family will be family.
Until next time live, love, laugh learn.
