Chapter 33 Are You Searching for Your Forever Person?
ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR YOUR FOREVER PERSON?
By Hannah Bell
Before I can find my forever person, I need to kiss a few toads. Maybe a few of them will be princes. Someone I can get to know. And if we have the right chemistry, we can become more.
Who am I looking for?
You know, that person who makes your heart skip a beat when they’re around. The sweet addiction you can’t get enough of, so you keep going back. You go back to them so often that you fall madly in love and the journey to build forever, begins.
I know, I said the L word.
Love is complex.
An emotion not many can explain, but millions presume to have felt.
Philosophers, songwriters, poets, and artists have written about this feeling for centuries.
It’s like air, you can’t see it, but yet, it exists.
There’s been a debate about it for nearly as long—as if love is a choice or something programmed into our DNA.
There’s something for sure, it’s a feeling that changes from one person to another. Not one love is the same.
Is it an uncontrollable emotion you can’t ignore when the perfect person enters your life?
We go back again to the right person.
In a world of seven billion people, there has to be someone who would accept you with all your quirks. People spend a lifetime searching for that perfect candidate who’ll bring them all the happiness they deserve.
As I dusted off my old essays from high school, I came upon one that brought up this article.
I was young. I wasn’t looking for the perfect guy. That didn’t mean I hadn’t thought about marriage. My perfect companion would be a man with at least these qualities: sincerity, integrity, compassion, a sense of humor, commitment, and confidence.
He has to be genuine. Honest.
I want to be with someone who I can count on wholeheartedly and who’ll count on me. Attraction matters, don’t get me wrong. But at the end of the day, I want to be with someone I’d like for the rest of my life. Love him for an eternity.
However, it’s the twenty-first century, and it has become a lot more comfortable to date through apps and social media.
So how do I find this guy who will sweep me off my feet when people constantly swipe left on your profile when they don’t see what they’re looking for, for the night—or for a weekend?
Well, my friend, I have decided to give a try to dating the old fashioned way. It’s possible. For twelve months, I’ve been writing letters with friends and family.
Why not dare to date the old fashioned way?
Stick with me while I navigate the scene of night clubs, bars, fitness clubs, and even grocery stores. If you have any suggestions on where to find the ideal guy, send them over to our inbox.
This isn’t How to Meet a Guy in 10 Dates. It’s How to Meet the Love of Your Life.
I want to fall for someone who can embrace my scars, enjoy my rants, and love me as I am.
Until Next Time
