You would think when it comes to love that someone like me would be jaded by now. Me, someone who’s had more heartbreaks than Eddie Albert (The Heartbreak Kid), himself. And I don’t care how many more times my heart has to break, I’m still going to wait on true love. Why? Because I still believe in love.
.

For the most part, believing in love is easy, for me. Not because I’ve had the most amazing experiences in this department. And no, it’s not because I’ve had the best examples to learn from, either. I’ve suffered, perhaps the greatest loss of all as it pertains to love.

I dated a man for 5 years. Once I was finally done with the disappointment from that relationship, I walked away & for two years after that, he tried to win me back. Just as I started to come around, he was unexpectedly shot & killed. He was my first true love.

Earlier this year, I suffered a miscarriage from a man I was deeply in love with. Not only did I mourn the loss of my unborn baby, but the demise of that relationship, as well.
.
.

And even though I’m not actively looking for love at the moment, I’m convinced that Love is looking for me. Despite the unfortunate string of luck I’ve had, I really do believe there are good men out there, always have. And I don’t care how many frogs I’ve got to kiss, the prospect of meeting my prince(King) still excites me.
