Lately I find myself easily comparing me to Jessie the yodeling cowgirl:
"When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful. Every hour we spent together lives within my heart." -Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl, Toy Story 2.
My main tactic for moving on with my life has been to just not think about the last year at all. The experience is way too much like the above quoted Sarah McLachlan song, and the truth is:
I am a desperately hopeless romantic.
I believe in LOVE. What can I say? I was nourished by Disney movies growing up, and now it's just too late. You are what you eat. I can't believe in love and let myself wallow in self pity, not this time. I can't be Mariana of the Moated Grange any longer, or say to myself, "Sometimes its better to be alone" (Megara, Hercules).
"If there's a prize for rotten judgement, I guess I've already won that." -Megara, Hercules
I know that makes me old fashioned, but I really, truly believe in the kind of love that transcends time, space, and circumstance. I believe that there exists a love that embraces all my weird quirks and histories, and someday, when the time is just right, we will meet.
"¡Ven conmigo! ¡Te mostraré las maravillas de la galaxia, y juntos lucharemos contra el despiadado Zurg!" -Spanish Mode Buzz
It just hasn't happened yet. Until then, "I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now" (Edna Mode, The Incredibles).
"Go, confront the problem. Fight! Win!" -"E"
Hey sweetie, you are so incredible and the right man just hasn't shown up yet! You need to remember that the Lord has someone incredible for you and you just need to be patient and wait for him to come along. Keep doing the wonderful things you are doing and he will find you! I promise! I am sure you learned wonderful things from this last relationship about what you want and want you don't want. Love isn't supposed to hurt so make that one of your items on the lists of do's and don'ts. Just turn it all over to the Lord and He will provide. In His time. Proverbs 3:5-6. hugs, t
