Youve taken time for yourself.
Youve worked through a lot of issues.

After going through the hell of heartache, you built yourself back up stronger than ever.
You are the most confident and strong and powerful and sure that youve ever been in your life.
You dont need a man or anyone else to tell you that you deserve wonderful things.

After a long, hard, self-reflective journey, you know your worth.
You didnt jump into yet another relationship that you knew would be horribly wrong for you.
You took the time to heal and recover and take a good look at what went sour and why.
Still, you go about your daily business and feel entirely invisible.
Why doesnt anyone see the work youve done and want to be with you?
It drives you absolutely crazy, even as you try your best not to care.The answer is simple.
You think youre ready … but youre not.
If you were ready, you wouldnt be bothered.
Youd sit back, live your life, and trust that someday hell come along.
Honestly, you might not even think about it at all.
Your life would be so full and satisfying that itd be irrelevant.
Yes, youre human.
You miss companionship, physical touch, and affection.
Havent you stayed strong long enough?
Isnt it time that someone appreciates you?
The answer is no.
When it finally happens, trust that you will look back and understand why he didnt come along sooner.
Itll be the right time and not a second too soon.
Youll know that if you had met him any earlier, it wouldnt have worked.
You werent ready for him.
He wasnt ready for you.
This doesnt mean itll be perfect in fact, it might be quite rough.
As much as you think youve grown and changed, dating is an entirely different game.
Suddenly everything from your past rears its ugly head no matter how you venture to manage it.
Youll have bumps, and misunderstandings, and fights.
You revel in your individuality and the freedom he gives you to be yourself.
He is mature, evolved, emotionally open man youve imagined.
You always wanted him, but you werent developed enough to choose him.
When you do find him, you will understand.
You will know that years, months, maybe even days ago, you never would have found him.
Hes just like you.
Hes worked on his issues.
Hes grown and changed and bettered himself.
He doesnt need you, but he wants you and that makes all the difference.
You finally understand what choosing someone to love really means.
Your bond is strong and secure because you want him and he wants you.
The pitfalls of your past relationships are no more.
You do not lose yourself.
You do not abandon your own life.
You do not forsake your independence, your true feelings, or opinion.
When he accepts you, he accepts all of you as you are.
There is no need to hide or pretend or perform.
He may not look anything like what you pictured, but suddenly it doesnt matter.
You accept him for himself in kind.
You love freely because it is born of mutual respect, trust, and understanding.
You will find your match.
No matter how long it takes you to get there, the results will be worth the wait.
