Inadequacy, Part II
A week has passed since I wrote the first part to the Inadequacy articles. I still have another week to decide if I want to go to this holiday party or not and if I do, go lonely. What really went through my head while I played the now famous seek and scan game everyday while driving home from work was the fact that I once again heard the I Hope You Dance song and I started to feel like a rank hypocrite in that area.
The scenerio of going to a holiday party alone in the realm of light of this song really made me question ‘Will I Dance?” or will I choose to be the wallflower and sit in the corner of desperation and destitute in this particular situation? It is kind of ironic that the questioning of “I Hope You Dance” and take a very hard risk is involving a holiday party where there will be dancing going on to the music provided by a private disc jockey.
I am still deciding… I am still wrestling and warring.

I say go. I have been to my share of these things, and I definitely think you will have more fun than if you decided not to go. There will be some emotion inside you going on, but there will likely be others there who are going through what you are going through, and if you go, you will find someone else to talk to, or, better yet, you may find a single, available woman who is thinking the same thing about being single.
I think it can only benefit you in the long run. Sometimes, during deep pain, it is time to step away, and sometimes it is time to step up. Only you and God can decide which one is the right choice for this particular party and others like it.
Blessings and prayers to you

What exactly are they going to do at this party? If they are going to get drunk and hit on each other’s wives…skip it. Otherwise..maybe go….what does your spirit say? I realize it is difficult getting past the emotions of not fitting in and listening to your spirit..but I think that has to be the only way.
Believe me, I’ve been there too…all of us singles have.
Well…why not go? You might have a lot of fun. Even if you make a promise to yourself that you’ll go for, say, one hour or an hour and a half, then leave if you aren’t having fun. Then, at least you have *tried* to dance. :) {hug}
