In Search For True Love

I am happy to be an NBSB at 25. I'm definitely not ashamed about it. There's no reason for me to be. For in this times of technological advancements, where having a partner is as easy as a click in the mouse and a few taps in the keyboard, here I am still living in my own "fantasy land", where "prince charming" and "knights in shining armor" rule the world. I still want to be swept off my feet and be bedazzled by sweet words. I am not the 'damsel in distress" type, far from it. But i want to have beautifully crafted love story to tell my children and grandchildren when I grow old. (if I get to have them, that is.)

This is ME, my idea of a romantic life. I still remain a hopeless romantic in this times of cynicism and chauvinistic life. Perhaps, this may be the reason why I am still an NBSB, but I don't mind at all. Maybe I could blame it to the countless romantic novels I have been reading ever since, to Hollywood flicks and TV shows and even to Walt Disney, but I don't.

I know people may raise their brows but let them be. I have nothing against people whose actions and beliefs are not like mine. Let us all do and think what will make us happy and be contended with it, after all, in the end, we only have to answer to ourselves.

I don't want to settle for anything less than what I truly deserve. I don't want to have boyfriend just for the sake of having one and to have the chance not to be ridiculed by my current state of hearts. I want to share the rest of my life with someone who will love me not despite of my flaws but because of who I am, fully embracing and accepting me for all my faults and imperfections. Hey, that's not too much to ask, right? I believe that in my search for true love, God said, " I am the author of true love. I am the Creator of romance." and with this, I am entrusting to Him the "pen" of my precious life, to write the script of my beautiful tale of LOVE.
