You see it just about all the time, especially on the major holidays followed by a spam of pictures and hundreds of likes and "Congratulations!" comments. Have you guessed what I'm talking about yet?

That's right, I'm talking about engagements.

An engagement is a special time in a couple's lives. It's the start of their "forever" and a memory that they'll treasure forever. When a couple announces their engagement, there's usually a few pictures and then they change their relationship status on Facebook to, of course, make it "Facebook official". But then you see the girls who are nothing but bitter towards the couple who just got engaged.

Why?

Why are you so bitter at someone's happiness? Is it because you aren't engaged yourself yet? Ladies, you're better than that. Just because you aren't at that stage in your life doesn't mean you have to be resentful to those who are. Besides, imagine if you were the one getting engaged. Would you want people saying rude things just because they aren't engaged themselves?

So, yeah, maybe some of your friends are at that point in life where they want to settle down and they already own a house and have a great career but know that you aren't lesser than them because you aren't at that point. It'll happen when you're ready, so don't rush it.

Point is, if you can't say, "Congrats!" without a bitter taste in your mouth, you're better off saying nothing at all.
