I’ve never needed someone to come along and take me away from my current life. I’ve always needed a partner who can challenge me, inspire me, intrigue me and fascinate me because of his passions in life. A man that has his own life and passions, hobbys, friends .. Someone who can be part of my life, without being all of it…

I’ve always day dreamed about how the life I’ve built for myself would feel when I was able to share it with someone I love and adore. When I was younger I believed in fairytales and a prince charming to come and rescue me. I dreamed he was handsome and everything with him would be nothing short of perfect. In the past I needed the thrills, the riches, the wild life filled with excitement, fancy clothes and  lavish events. what I want now is something much simpler and unique. I want a man who can remember the little things.Like how I like my vanilla latte at Starbucks. Someone who can make me laugh and when I get a little anxious about something he knows what to say to bring me back to “its not that serious” without saying those words obviously lol a man that can lay with me on the couch and listen to music without saying a word. I never  wanted a man to try to steal my independence or can’t understand it.  Instead, I want a guy who is strong enough to stand by my side, not in front or behind. To be my best friend even when times get tough. To love life with me..To be “my kind of different”, as I like to say.

I’ve been called picky quite a bit.. been told im someone who is waiting for some soul mate or Prince Charming, the perfect man, I’ve been accused of holding out for something that doesn’t exist, having my eye on some ridiculous prize ….

what I’m actually doing is working on MY own story. Its not going to be a fairytale when it happens it’s going to be part of my story, my journey. Truth is, I’m not really picky, but I do know what I look for in a  man that can fill that missing piece. Yes I would love to have our paths cross sooner than later but I’m busy living my crazy little life.

I don’t have to settle with someone to be secure, or to rescued but choose a partner who thinks my independent strength is sexy. A man who admires my qualities of being a strong but nurturing woman.  One where marriage isn’t summed up three words of happily ever after, but is a lifetime of ups and downs. A relationship where there is no games, no bs, because we both choose each other.

It might have taken me a few decades to see fairy tales for what they are, magical love stories that we see in the movie remind us that love is possible;but not quite an accurate description of what a relationship really is. I just wish for happiness in life. And in love.

Im just living my story and trusting the journey… one day our stories will meet and ill probably be writing about you in my blog posts, but until then, I hope we are happily apart.

Love Always
