One of my readers told me this amazing and heartwarming story and I wanted to share it with you. I[❤] ️ love stories that give us hope and are magical and filled with sparkles-- and this is one of those stories.
"It was winter time and my mom and I had planned a trip to Florida, just the two of us. I have been feeling particularly stressed before the trip but decided to just surrender and relax while on our vacation. Because it was just my mom and me, I had some extra down time on our vacation and decided to do something for myself.
I was at a place in my life where I was really hoping to meet someone special - someone I could spend the rest of my life with. I decided to give match.coma try.
I said to myself, "I believe that I could potentially meet the person I spend the rest of my life with on match - it could happen."
I created a profile and decided to make it as authentic as possible… Just me. Really me.
It felt really good doing it. I also didn't tell anybody about the profile - aside from my mom. I wanted it to be my thing - my special thing.
While on the trip I received an email from my now husband. His email was thoughtful, funny, romantic and authentic. It definitely made me laugh. We ended up going on our first date a week after I got home from the trip. Our first date was magical, and something just felt right for both of us.
My usual anxious self felt incredibly calm around him and his usually grounded self felt what he described as being electrocuted. We both knew very quickly that this was it. It was love at first conversation - first touch - but we are also incredibly attracted to each other of course. I can be myself with him and that felt amazing.
However, we both had some fearful thoughts (which we later shared with each other) - we worried it was too good to be true. Thankfully, we both decided instead it was good enough to be true.
Two years later we got married.
I won't say that neither of us have ever felt fear. I've struggled with worthiness, but we've always found a way to work through it. I've always set intentions, prayed and meditated, and my husband will talk his fears out with me and go through his own process in his mind.
I want people to have hope that this can happen for them, if they are their authentic self. Don't try to be someone you're not."
