To the Girl Who Stopped Believing in Love
Hello, beautiful! I hope you are enjoying the new website as much as I am. Today we are going to get a little personal. Life is beautiful chaos. If you were to ask me 5 years ago if I would be a married homeowner with a fur baby I would have told you that you lost your mind. At that point in my life I was the girl that stopped believing in love. I started to prepare myself to be single for the rest of my life. (Nothing wrong with it)
Growing up I thought it was normal to not show your S/O (significant other) affection, I thought all parents argued like 85% of the time. That is all I knew. Eventually my parents couldn't make it work anymore & they got divorced which involved some unfaithfulness. (Hello trust issues & all these other weird unwanted feelings) Like any 20-something I was lost, so lost in this huge, scary yet beautiful world. I would put on this strong front & suppress any feelings I had. Those feelings that I chose to not deal with I ended up drinking them. I had absolutely no desire in being in a relationship while at the same time I just wanted to be loved by someone, anyone. One day I realized I needed to get my act together. I stopped drinking so much but I had this great idea that I was going to move to NYC, live like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City, & become a puppy lady. (Again nothing wrong with that) I wasn't looking for love, I didn't want love to find me.
““For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future.””
Well folks, the big guy upstairs certainly had other plans for my life. His plan is always far greater than any plan we could possibly have for ourselves, He's funny like that. I met this handsome fella, Ricky (my husband) randomly at the Quincy Adam's train station (if you are familiar with the Boston MBTA). I was with his cousin, my best friend headed to the red sox game & he was headed home from work. February 2017 we are now 6 months into our marriage, happy in our new home, & with fur child. Now it hasn't always been easy but relationships aren't, you work thru problems. I'm not saying that you should settle for anything less than amazing or deal with any sort of jerks because you shouldn't. We all come into relationships with baggage & I am a firm believer in being with someone who is able to let you unpack that.
If you have given up on love I invite you to keep your head up & stay strong. There is a plan for you, greater & more beautiful than you could ever dream of. Just keep the faith in the power above. Remember in Sex in the City, even Carrie ended up with her Big.
Anyway I hope this inspired at least one fash doll somewhere. If you are single fear not the right person is out there & if you chose to be single I think that should be celebrated as well! We aren't all called to relationships. Don't ever forget that you are beautiful, unique, & deserve the world. Well dolls till next!
Stay Sassy & God Bless!
