I feel like I have finally figured my life out ~ and it all started with me being old and wise enough to realize the difference between reality and wishful thinking.
Being independent and able to take care of myself is one of the things that I am most proud of in my life. I now know that with the right attitude anything is possible and that you are always worth way more then you think you are. I have little patience for people who complain about their lives, but do nothing change them. If you don't go out and get the life you want, it is not going to come and hunt you down.
I know that physical attraction is not enough to hold a relationship together. I know that the man I marry will be as strong and driven as I am, and will be someone who will challenge me intellectually, both personally and professionally. In the long run, the conversation that you have will be way more important than you think. I think that the first kiss will tell you all you need to know about the chemistry between two people.
