I went in to Mongolian BBQ this past week, and one of the employees there started asking me in her vietnamese accent " What your boyfriend doing for you on valentine day?"
I reply " I don't have boyfriend..."
vietnamese lady- "you single? How old are you?"
me- "yes I am single, and I'm 22, but I am happy and I still love valentines day." I said with a cheesy grin.
Vietnamese lady- " oh, you must not be mormon, most mormons have 3 kids by now, you not married, girl you behind."
Me- holding back a giggle and thinking to myself (us crazy mormons) " I'm mormon, and I'm fine not being married at 19 and having kids right now."
vietnamese lady- " wow, then you must not be from around here, and listen to me girl you don't need to get married just cause your friends are all married, and numba one rule, always go out with gentlemen, if they don't reach for the check, ooh girl you betta run. Don't worry you will find your tall man, and it will be meant to be."
This conversation went on for twenty minutes, it still makes me laugh.
Maybe I do believe it, all this
“meant to be” stuff. Why not believe it, really? Who doesn’t want more romance
in their life? Maybe it’s just up to us to make it happen. To show up and be
meant for each other. At least that way you’ll find out for sure - if you’re
meant to be or not, by giving it a chance.
If you know me you know that I am not a cynic on love, and you'd also know that I am the kind of girl that believes in fairy tales, romance and true love. I'm one of those crazy people that loves valentines day, even if I'm single. :) I have had my doubts on finding that guy who is at my level- to understand watch my wisdom teeth video HERE. It's not that I am self centered or think I am to good for any guy. I just know who I am, and the kind of guy I am looking for.
Yes I am single, and I am beyond happy with my life, but that doesn't mean that am not searching.
If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you’re scared that it’s not
the right thing. Even if you’re scared that it’ll cause problems. Even if
you’re scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and you
say it loud and you go from there. I have never regretted telling someone how I felt. It doesn't matter if its an "I like you" or "I'm interested in you" Or "I love you", I have had an experience with every one of those phrases that didn't go the way that I hoped, but I don't regret them, in fact I am grateful for them.
Therefore, I challenge you america, (sorry too much biggest loser) to put your heart on your sleeve and to let yourself love. Starting now I'm gonna surely try to do the same.
