TORONTO GIRL CHRONICLES

If life is an blank page, what will you write on it? A great love story I am sure. Maybe one that includes a significant other, a family member, a dear friend or someone unexpected. However the most important love story that you should write is the one between you and yourself. A story where, in spite of yourself you learn to overlook your short comings and love you for who you are. A story where, in spite of the circumstances you rise to the occasion because you had faith. A story where, in spite what people said or thought, you stuck to your guns and stayed true to what mattered to you.
It boggles my mind how so many us will be picky about a new car, or an apartment and when it comes to a partner and how they treat us, we sometimes settle. We settle for someone that doesn’t call, that forgets our birthday or someone that disrespects our friends or family. Do we suffer from temporary insanity and settle for men that forget to treat us well?
It could be possible that we haven’t even recognized that we really are queens. We just don’t want to live alone, just like we don’t want to drive a car that breaks down or live in a place that stinks. I get that. But what do you do when you can’t find the perfect place? Toronto is a renter’s city; you know that eventually, the right place will appear. It is the same with a significant other. You need to have faith. Faith that you are a diamond and eventually, a person that knows your value will come along and you’ll both write a really beautiful love story, I’m sure. Until then, keep on writing your own.
