Love Will Come And Find Me Again
Ever feel like love is playing hide-and-seek, and you’re always "it"? You're not alone. The quest for connection can sometimes feel like searching for a matching sock in a dryer filled with static cling.
The Great Love Escape Artist
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking love is a destination, a place you *arrive* at. Like finally finding a parking spot downtown on a Saturday night! Instead, maybe it's more like a boomerang.
You throw it out there – you put yourself out there – and trust it will circle back around.
Stop the "Love Lockdown"
Think about those times you actively searched for love. Remember endlessly swiping on dating apps until your thumb cramped? Or attending every social event hoping to bump into "the one?"
Sometimes, the more we grip onto something, the more it slips through our fingers like wet sand. It's like trying to herd cats...towards a romantic candlelit dinner.
The Unexpected U-Turn
What happens when you simply… stop searching? When you focus on yourself, your hobbies, that pottery class you've always wanted to try? This is where the magic often happens.
Suddenly, you're radiating a different kind of energy. It's the "I'm happy and whole" vibe, and people are drawn to that like moths to a porch light.
Maybe it's the quiet confidence or the sheer enjoyment of your own company. Whatever it is, it’s magnetic.
When Love Knocks (Again)
Picture this: you’re elbows-deep in clay, covered in splatters, utterly in your element. And then, BAM! You strike up a conversation with someone else equally enthusiastic about the art of transforming mud.
Or maybe you’re at a concert, rocking out to your favorite band, and you connect with someone who shares your taste in music. The point is, love often blossoms when you're not expecting it, while doing something you genuinely enjoy.
It's as if the universe is saying, "Okay, okay, you've stopped chasing. Here you go!"
Embrace the "Me Time"
Think of this period as a "love sabbatical". A chance to recharge, rediscover what makes you tick, and build a life you love independently. Because, honestly, the best relationship is one where two whole people come together, not two halves trying to complete each other.
Instead of feeling incomplete, focus on becoming the best version of yourself. Invest in your passions, cultivate your friendships, and treat yourself with kindness. Then, that boomerang of love might just come back faster!
Love will come and find you again, but probably when you are busy doing something else. Like finally perfecting that sourdough recipe, or mastering the art of the perfectly timed nap.
The Grand Finale (of Sorts)
The truth is, love isn't a limited resource. It's not like the last slice of pizza that everyone's eyeing. There's plenty to go around, and your turn will come.
So, relax, enjoy the ride, and trust that love will find its way back to you when the time is right. Maybe it will show up with a bouquet of flowers, or maybe it will arrive covered in clay. Either way, be ready to welcome it with open arms, and maybe a slightly muddy hug.
Because sometimes, the best love stories start with a little bit of serendipitous dirt.
Remember that friend, Susan, who found love at a dog park while her chihuahua tried to hump a Great Dane's leg? Love works in mysterious, and sometimes hilarious, ways.
