How can you be all these things for someone if you don't feel the same way towards them? You can't force the heart to do anything the heart wants what it wants.  The most important aspect in all of this is self love! If you do not love yourself you cannot love someone else as you should.

 Every girl grows up dreaming about her wedding day and marrying her prince and living happily ever after am I right ladies? Well sadly in today's world relationships and true love are hard to find and keep. Throughout my life I had many friends find the "One" , and I watched happy for them but sad for me. I think when it really hit home for me was when my baby sister got engaged and started to plan her wedding. I am so happy for her and her fiance is an amazing guy, but somehow I kept asking myself when was it going to be my time? I am educated, smart,ambitious, caring and will give anyone anything that they need, but somehow could not have that great connection with someone.  Is it me or my expectations? So let me back it up a bit while a junior in high school my father had an affair and it broke my heart.  My parents were the true love story met as kids married at 18 and started a family. They built an amazing life for themselves and us.  We always had our own hom...
