"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
-Carrie Bradshaw
A couple weeks ago I received and email from a person who asked why I am single? I had to back track and think for a second. Here is a story only three people know and I am only going to tell this story once and I'm gonna make is short. A couple years ago I was in a horrible relationship, it was abusive mentally and sometimes physically, I think I was too busy trying to make things perfect and trying to be optimistic on something that was never going to work out. It was my first relationship, I thought I was going to be in this relationship for the rest of my life. Things ended horribly in the end, I was cheated on and I still to this day remember the heart ache that I felt however it felt like a heart attack. I was later being attack through phone calls and texts, I had to even change my phone number!
I changed a lot after all this happened, actually I changed a lot while I was in my relationship. For years I blamed myself, I thought that if this person did not love me then no one would ever love me. I seriously would look in the mirror every day and pick myself to little pieces. So three years later, I am here today single and trying to get back to myself again. Back to the point I know why I am single, and don't get me wrong but I have been trying! One word comes to mind: ACCEPTANCE yes I feel like people these days want us to act this way, look this way, and be so much more then we are not. I believe that if you are worthy of my love you should accept me for everything I am, and I should accept you for everything you are. Patients is truly a virtue, because when it comes to love it demands us to be patient. So I will be here kissing many frogs until I find my prince charming, wish me luck! haha
Xoxo,
