Welcome to episode 36 of Unsweetened and Unfiltered.

Doni, I know you want to talk about something that's kind of been on your mind for the past like two weeks.

So you want to go ahead and take it away?

Why are you making it seem like it's some like crazy thing that I'm about to announce? Because I want to, I really want to go ahead and take it away why are you making it seem like it's some

like crazy thing that i'm about to announce because i want to i really want to dive in and talk about

this so just go ahead and okay well it's not that interesting zana you're really good at hyping things up

i was thinking because you know we're in the holiday season everything like that obviously like

me and you don't celebrate certain holidays whatever but we're still invited to like get

togethers and whatnot and everything yeah there was an old me that used to kind of avoid these like

get-togethers or gatherings because all my friends certain part of like I have like two sets of

friend groups and stuff like that and there's one set of friend group that invites me and they're

all married they all have their couple they're like or they're all couples it's like husband and wife husband wife and then there goes

little didn't you know what you mean but i used to kind of like avoid them and i was like i don't want to be

like the only person without like a plus one and all that stuff and everything and i remember i just

had a discussion with one of my other friends she was in a a similar situation too. She didn't want to go to a certain event because she's like, I'm going to be the only single girl there. And I'm like, yeah, I understand.

I totally get how you feel. You don't want to feel left out and blah, blah. And then I kind of want to go back

on that. I want to go back on what I said because I ended up going to the little gathering we had. like it was like turkey good food one of our friends invited us and um in her home and like it was

such a nice time but there was a little ounce of me that was about to avoid going there because i was

like everybody there is married and everybody there is bringing their spouse and i'm the only one

that's not can i say something go ahead this is not a little high school movie where like every, all the couples are sitting in each other's laps, feeding each other food.

Like it's not like that.

Usually when I attend these events, it's either mixed where like the couples are just sitting together chatting or it's like separate where the girls are on one side, the guys are on the other.
