I dont need a handsome face.

I need a handsome heart.
I dont need someone with six pack abs.
I dont want perfection.
I dont want someone who is unbreakable.
I need someone real.
But Ive come to find quiet a few things about love.

Ive realized that you’ve got the option to never make someone love you.
Or even like you.
You arent going to be the most liked person ever in the world.
Youre never going to be able to be hey everybody.
Life is too short to have a go at do that.
So focus on yourself.
Focus on your goals and on your well being.
Only then can you open yourself up to love.
Ive been single for a long time.
Ive had periods of times where I didnt go on a single date.
Ive had periods of times where I didnt go out.
Ive also had times where I wanted to meet every boy I swiped yes to on Tinder.
And Ive had periods of times spent with quite lovely guys.
But, Ive also been broken by one too many almost relationships.
Ifinallylove being on my own.
After years of not feeling fulfilled without being in love.
I love not having to worry about someone else.
I love not having to care.
But I also miss it.
I miss falling so hard and being caught.
I miss the sweet moments you’re free to only experience with a significant other.
The guy I will wait for has to have a kind heart.
Thats all I want at this point.
A kind human being.
I dont need the fancy gestures.
I dont need the fancy dates.
I dont need the rose petals.
I dont need the door opened for me.
I dont need the male model.
I dont need the bay watch lifeguard.
I dont need the hottest guy in the club.
So how could I expect the next man I fall for to be?
My 2018 resolution is to open myself up to love again.
To not be so scared of rejection and heartache like I have done in the past.
Sure, I might get hurt.
I might get wrecked.
I might get blindsided.
But without those learning experiences, I wont ever get to find love again.
And maybe Ill find him this year.
This man I have imagined up in my head.
This man that is sweet to me.
That doesnt hurt me.
That doesnt change his mind.
Maybe Ill finally find someone who doesnt leave.
Just like they all do.
