After my last relationship I seriously started questioning love. I started questioning if love and commitment were really worth it. I even went through a small phase where I swore off love and relationships, and commitment in general. But being the hopeless romantic I am, I realized that wasn't an option. I took some time then to reflect on the reasons why my last relationship and to reflect on things I did and didn't do. I came to the conclusion that although I'm not perfect it wasn't my fault. Love in general is worth it but only if the person you are giving your love to is worthy of your love. And he wasn't.

I was in no rush to find someone else though. I decided to use this time to work on myself and pamper myself because self-love is everything.

Not long after all of this though did I find exactly what I have been looking for all this time:

I found someone who ADORES me.

I found someone who does all the little things that add up to so much.

I found someone who loves me even when I'm not very lovable.

I found someone who not only appreciates everything I do but also makes it known he appreciates everything.

I found someone who is corny af just like ME.

I found someone who wants to spend as much time with me as he can. Shoutout to my ex who told me good luck finding guy that would make time for me once a week...LOL. I stay winning because my guy spends a majority of his free time with me.

I found someone that I smile and laugh with EVERYDAY. Whether it's over the phone or in person, there are smiles and laughed shared between us; even on the days, we annoy the hell out of each other.

Most importantly, I found someone who is worthy of my love and who loves me as much (if not more) than I love him.

I could go on and on listing these things, but the point is I got everything I was looking for and more when I wasn't even looking. So when you feel like you will never find love again, just try and keep some hope, and know it will happen when you least expect it.
