What It Means To Be Gaby:Letting Love Find You

I find that many people, especially women feel as if they are not beautiful or loved if they do not have someone. Although I have at times wished I had someone, I never go out hunting. I figure that the right person will come along at the right time.

It seems to me that those who go out hunting for someone usually end up with somebody that is not compatible to who they were. The relationship may be short-lived or an unhappy one that is put up with for the sake of calling someone your “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”.

Once my peers began dating I found that many of them were with people they did not truly care for or those who did not truly care for them. Seeing this made me realize that I would rather be single than be in a relationship where somebody cares more than the other person. That is just unfair to whoever truly cares about the relationship, and nobody deserves to be strung along by someone.

When I meet someone I want to feel a connection. I want them to genuinely care about me as much as I care for them. I want them to love me for who I am and be able to put up with my flaws. I do not want them to be afraid of being who they are because I want someone real. I know that this is probably something a lot of you want as well. And in order for this to be able to happen we all have to be able to be true to ourselves and let love find us.

We have to be patient. I know many of us feel the need to be with someone, but I think it is more important to accept the fact that we do not “need” someone else. It is not a necessity to be in a relationship. It is okay to be single.

Just meet people and date around. When it is the right time you will come across somebody special. Until then enjoy being single and learn to love yourself. You cannot be in love with another person until you are able to love and accept who you are. You have to know what you want in life in order to find who you want by you side.

As of right now I am learning what it is I want in life and what I enjoy doing. Being that I am currently single, I believe that there is still more I need to figure out about myself that will lead me to a relationship worth having.

I know it may be hard at times seeing happy couples, but there is no need to rush. Just take the time you have now to learn more about yourself and experience the amazing things life has to offer. Explore new places and try different things. In your journey you will come across a path that suits you best, and along that path there will be someone and that someone will be who you need. Even though there may be times you have relationships with someone special that will not turn out to be the one, just know that you have with that person happened for a reason. That reason being they are getting you closer to that person who is right for you.

The game of love is a tricky one, but it is not impossible to find the one. Be patient, be true to yourself, love and accept who you are, do not change who you are to impress someone, and do not give up on love. There will be someone who breaks your heart, and you may be afraid that someone else will break your heart again. And it may even happen several times, but if you push through the heartbreak there will come a day where you meet someone who will do anything to keep you from getting hurt. That someone will heal your wounds and will want nothing more than to make you happy.

Until then good luck on your journey and enjoy life.
