It has always been a joke within my family that I would join a convent and become a nun one day. I never thought twice about it, brushing my grandma off when she mentioned it, and laughing at aunts who joke about it. That was, until I came to college.
I had never really had a serious boyfriend. I had crushes here and there and the occasional date. Nothing really stuck. I watch couples all around me living their fairytale romances. It always seemed like I was the best friend who got left behind. When I came to college, I was determined to get a boyfriend. I thought that having a boyfriend would validate me. Boy, was I wrong.
Don’t get me wrong, I still think that it would be nice to have a boyfriend, but I am saying that I don’t need one to validate who I am. I am an amazing, strong, independent woman. I have a career path that I love, a family that I love, and a support network that stretches for miles.
The new love I want to find in New Hampshire is self love. I want to love myself more. I want to be happy with myself. I want to fall in love with myself all over again. I believe that once I find a new love with myself, a man will make his way into my life.
