I know many of you love my stories and how they make you feel,
inspiring you to be stronger, rise above and feel empowered.
Well, this story-these stories- aren't just made up tales and a fancy make believe story.
No, the things I share- I've lived.
At some point in my life, I went through what you read.
Some good, some bad, all authentic.
Some of you may roll your eyes, expecting a sappy love story.
And you’d be right, this is part of my love story.
It’s full of all the usual elements of boy meets girl, they fall in love and live happily ever after.
Except in this story, one of them makes terrible choices and the love story appears to be over…
Only it’s not.
You see, there’s something very powerful about pure and passionate love.
It may be many things- hopeless, romantic, beautiful, even..
But it doesn’t fail.
If we give up, let it go or stop caring about our love, well, that’s on us.
But I didn’t.
I made every mistake I could have made, hurt hearts and destroyed trust..
But I made a choice to fight for my love story.
The same option that each one of us has at some point in our lives.
I swallowed my pride, I put aside my ego and I chose to do whatever it took to find a way through the heartache.
Don’t tell me you’re too old, too tired, too damaged for love-
I’m all those things-just like you say you are- and yet, I wasn’t going to let the most amazing person I had ever met slip through my fingers.
The chance to love someone comes along so very rarely in this life, why would you ever walk away from something so beautiful?
And don’t tell me it’s because of whatever reason you’ve told yourself.
Choose love.
Fight for it.
Believe in it.
Do whatever it takes to make your love story stay alive.
The chance to connect with another human being on a level that transcends normal human emotion?
That’s a beautiful thing and it’s worth whatever you have to pour into it.
Don’t sell yourself short, decide to quit or tell yourself that you’re not enough.
Truthfully, I probably didn’t deserve another chance at my love story.
But that’s just the thing about love.
It will change your life, drive you to be better and bring you a joy unlike any other…and it also forgives.
So, yeah, this is my story.
It’s one of true love, tragic mistakes and a bitter pain.
But it’s also a tale of two beautiful hearts that never stopped believing in love, each other and their future.
So please, no more excuses about why you can’t find or don’t have love.
Love is all around us, but we have to open our eyes, free our hearts and embrace the possibilities.
It won’t always be easy or fast, but it will always be worth it.
I’m telling you that you’re worthy of love, you deserve it and your chance will come..sometimes, more than once.
But you know what else ?
It’s going to make you step outside your comfort zone, take chances, bare your soul and be vulnerable.
And I can promise you, that once you’ve done that and felt the immeasurable power of love, it will take your breath away…
Every time you see the love of your life- and you’ll never be the same.
So, tell me anything you want -
Say you’re not ready, don’t want it or whatever you want to tell yourself..
But don’t tell me you can’t have it, it’s too hard or you don’t deserve it…
Because you do.
We all do.
The rest is up to you.
And as far as my love story,
Thank you, MPS, for showing me what a real love story feels like and never giving up on me.
I’ll spend the rest of our life together showing you how very much you mean to me.
May each and every one of us find our own amazing love story-
One day, one chapter and one beautiful heart at a time.
