About the site - Weebly Site

*Update!!* October 10, 2009
So, some people have been pointing out, "hey, aren't you supposed to be single right now? Didn't you make a website about it?" ha. Good point, comrades. But when I first made this website, nine months ago (yep, I could have birthed a child since then), life was different. Basically my whole world got effed up a little bit and I needed time to be sad about what I lost with Tom (or never had to begin with). I knew I needed time alone. I wanted to spend time really healing so that the next time I entered a relationship, I'd be doing it for the right reasons. Over these last months, I've thought a lot about what I want and need from a partner, and how I want my life to shape. Sometimes haphazardly, I've been going after that. And all along the way, I keep saying "wow, I never expected that to happen". I can't say enough how much I've loved the events and relationships that have unfolded since I made this decision.

It's strange that I'm in the place now (emotionally) that I thought it might take me a year to get to. And I'm in Victoria! I can't get over the fact that people actually live here. And the fact that I'm finally living the life I wanted for so long.

All that said, it doesn't make sense for me to have a website dedicated to being single. Sure, I'm still planning on doing a lot of solo adventuring in Victoria, but a relationship down the road? It's a possibility. I'm keeping the same web address (because I still like talking about my feelings), but you can consider "Singlevocity" something I've moved forward from. On my cousin's suggestion, I'm calling this...
NicToria....!!!

Unveiled.

But for the sake of nostalgia, below is my original layout and description.

On February 9, 2009, I found myself unexpectedly single (despite my best protests). After three years with Tom, half of which we spent living together, I didn't really know what to do with myself. I mean, I knew I'd get through it, but it caught me completely off guard. So I was sitting at work the day after it happened and making a list of things to do. At the very bottom of the list, almost as an afterthought, I wrote "start the life I want". I stuck the list in my textbook and every time I opened it again, those words caught me.

This website is about me starting the life I want, rather than waiting for it anymore. It's about letting go of all my expectations and giving into irrationality. It's about feeling real and feeling alive. It's a vitalization of who I am and an escape from the safe route. It's my way to be free.

This is my year of singlevocity - living in a state of singlehood while moving through radness and awesomehood. The site will include a blog of all my adventures, including me talking about my feelings (woo!), and posting a lot of pictures to document the whole thing. The last thing it'll include is my "bucket list" - a list of things I want to do before I get into a relationship again. That's it friends. Onward!
