waiting for love

I've always been waited for love to come. As my peers have taught me, a lady should never look for love, rather she waits for it. Originally I found this absurd when I was a teenager. If I don't look for love then how would it find me?

I've looked all over for love during my college years, all of it futile. What I thought was love from the side of a guy was simply his kindness and thoughtfulness within his soul.  Rather silly of me, and soon, I break my own heart from the misconception that my brain has been feeding me.

When I turned graduated college, I stopped looking for love. I've never had any boyfriend, nor have been to any dates, but I didn't care anymore. Love will come when it feels like coming.

And it did. I realized, the best way to find love is not to run and look for it, but giving yourself a steady pace. Love yourself first and be happy being single. As an old classmate of mine from high school taught me, If you're desperate for it, Love will simply get away from you. Wait for it, Love will come.
