Letters to My Former Single Self {Week 3}

Over the years, what did you learn you needed in a significant other? What did you learn about yourself?

Dear Hallie,
You are about a month out from meeting "the one". You have just made the decision to move across the country. You made this decision to start over. You made this decision to say goodbye to what you knew and hello to everything you don't
You are probably just about to the time where you made your dating website account. You told yourself that you were only looking for friends, absolutely NO boyfriends. You did not have time for a relationship, you did not WANT a relationship. This was all about you finding yourself.
Not finding yourself a boyfriend.
When you meet "the one" you guys talk like you've known each other forever, and you instantly know that there is something special about him.
As time goes on you still you do not know what you want, but you start to realize that he is everything you need, and now that you know what it is, it is everything you've been living without.
He is smart.
He is kind,
He is genuine.
He is compassionate.
He is loving.
He is gentle.
He is sweet.
You never had a list for what you wanted when falling in love, but you will just realize just what you were missing when you meet this guy.
Before you met "the one" you really didn't know who you were. You remember who you used to be, but after losing your grandpa, you lost your shine.
You lost sight of life, you lost sight of fate, and you lost sight of love.
When you meet "the one" the most important thing that you will learn about yourself is that you are strong. You can make it through this, and even though it may be with the help of others. Life will go on.
You will also learn that even though your grandpa is gone, he is always with you in spirit.
and when you meet "the one" you will realize just how much alike your grandpa and "the one" really are.
He has his contagious laugh
He has is beautiful smile
He has his positive look of life
He has an overwhelming love for you.
You will learn more about yourself in the first 2 years of being with "the one" than you have learned in your first 20 years of life.
You will learn love, you will learn fate, and you will learn hope.
just hold out one more month, amazing things are coming.

  2. OH my! I am almost crying here too! This has got to be hands-down one of the BEST letters I've read out of this link up...including mine! I also met The One through a dating website but he would chop me up in little pieces if I wrote that on the blog! Haha! My feelings were EXACTLY the same going into it. Thanks for sharing!

  3. This was so touching! It's so wonderful to be with someone who has the qualities of the people you've lost.
    My husband is so much like my dad (he passed when I was 19), and I thought I'd never find that!
    Oh dating websites...I am so thankful for them!

  5. This is such a beautiful and lovely letter, I am so glad you have found true love and each other because P is as blessed to have you in his life.

    Also it's always important to remember that true love comes in all shapes and forms, just like the love you share with your Granpa and that will always be alive in your heart.

    Have a wonderful weekend! XO
