Within each of our lives, there is one thing that we all find ourselves seeking after, wishing we had. For some, it is money and all the luxuries that come with it. Others seek after recognition for their success within business and society. Yet for me, the one thing that I have found myself seeking after is the most complex yet enticing thing in the world: love.
It is within our nature as humans to love and be loved in return. From the moment we are born and cradled in our parents’ arms, we long for that closeness and shared connection with important people in our lives. It is my opinion that there are no more beautiful words spoken in the human language than those three special words: “I love you.”
As we grow older, our view on love changes as it shifts into a more romantic perspective. And it is this shift that has left me confused and heartbroken many times throughout my young life, leaving me to wonder one question: is she out there?
In my 22 years, I have broken hearts and had my heart broken. I have led people on and been led on myself. I have gotten my hopes up multiple times on the possibility of a potential relationship, only to find out I was foolish for ever entertaining such thoughts. And now, I find myself becoming jealous if those who have found love, wishing for just one second that I could trade places with them, to know what it feels like to be with the person I know I am going to spend the rest of my life with.
