More than one person has told me in the recent months that if I ask for something, I mean REALLY ask for it, I have to put it out there for the universal forces to see. One Tita told me before to “Ask, believe, and receive.” Another cousin also told me recently “PRAY for that SOMEONE! And when you pray, BE SPECIFIC, up to the teeniest detail that you would have wanted in a man. And never, ever settle for anything less because somewhere out there, God is preparing someone special who is a perfect match for you”
So yes, at the risk of sounding a bit desperate, I am writing a letter to the universal forces for somebody to love. I am 27 years old, a lot of my peers have gotten married and are having children and are all moving up in life. And while I am perfectly content with everything that I have right now (a thriving business, a functioning body and a strong mind, a loving family, a incredibly supportive set of friends, etc.) sometimes I find myself wishing that my “someone” will come along soon and sweep me off my feet. I have loved and have been hurt and broken 2 times in the past but I don’t want to give up hope just yet. This is my letter to the universal forces and I am putting it out here in my public blog just so that the higher beings out there will have better access to it.
Dear Universal Forces,
These are the qualities that I am looking for in a man. The man who I hope is out there just waiting for fate to make our paths cross. The man who will someday strike a friendship with me then who knows? From there he could be the one I will spend the rest of my life with.
1.) He should be strong-willed, driven, and passionate about his chosen craft. There is nothing I admire more in a guy than someone who knows what he wants in life and does everything he can to achieve it.
2.) He should share the same interests with me especially when it comes to music, books, movies, and food. He and I should be able to talk endlessly about our favorites. It wouldn’t hurt if he’s also a Michael Jackson fan, if he appreciates the music of Adele, if we can talk about John Grisham books, the latest movies, old and new songs, and if he can go on a food binge with me every now and then.
3.) He MUST BE a dog lover. This is a non-negotiable for me because I can’t imagine a life without dogs in it.
4.) He must enjoy karaoke and he must not be embarrassed to belt it out in front of my friends.
5.) He must get along well with my family and friends. The last thing I need is a boyfriend who I have to defend from the people I love most in my life. So he must be the type who’ll exert extra effort to win their approval and good graces.
6.) He must be a good listener and a good conversationalist. He and I must be able to talk about everything and anything under the sun and still not get bored with each other. After all, at the end of the day, when you’re too old and too tired to do anything together, all that you have left are your conversations. So he must be the type of guy who’s genuinely interested to know about how my day went.
7.) He doesn’t have to have movie star looks. He just has to be healthy and physically fit so that he will live a long life.
8.) He has to be able to sway me with big words because I am just a sucker for guys like that and well, I just have a thing for words myself. And no, I’m sorry I just can’t be with a guy who can’t string sentences together and who doesn’t know the difference between YOUR and YOU’RE. A guy with a pretty good grasp of the English language is all that I’m asking for.
9.) He must be the type of guy who will treat me with respect. I believe that as long as you have respect for a person the rest will follow. I am done with guys who belittle me, bully me, and treat me like crap.
10.) He must enjoy traveling and exploring new places with me. He must also be a lover of the beach and the underwater world so we can go swimming with the fishies together.
11.) He must be willing to fight for me and he has to be courageous enough to show me how he feels. In other words, he must be the type of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve.
12.) He must be the type of guy who’d write me love letters every now and then. Flowers and chocolates and all that gift-giving is not that important to me. But the gift of words will stick with me forever.
13.) He must not be afraid of the dark and of little things like cockroaches, lizards, and rats. Guys like that are sissies. It’s so easy to get a slipper or a shoe to kill a cockroach.
14.) I enjoy cooking. So I’d like a guy who appreciates my cooking but will tell me honestly if my dishes need improvement.
15.) He must share my dreams for the future with me. My dreams are pretty simple really. I just want a nice house, a car, maybe 2 children and 2 dogs, a business that allows me to do the thing that I love most, the chance to travel to a new place once in a while.
16.) He must have that religious commitment to attend Sunday mass with me. I am not a very religious person myself but I do pray and hear mass. So at the very least, he has to be that type of person too.
17.) He must be willing to share with me his interests too just so that I could be introduced to a new and different world.
18.) He must be the type of guy who’d be proud to introduce me to his family and friends.
19.) He must not be torpe. Or if he IS torpe in the beginning he should be able to get over it and just make a move already.
20.) He will be my confidante, my best friend, and my very own cheerleader. And I will be the same to him.
21.) Lastly, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, he must be faithful and loyal to his commitment to me.
I know this seems like a very tall order. But you know, Universal Forces, once you let me cross paths with him, I PROMISE to love him with all my heart and soul. I really do believe that only time will tell. For now I shall wait patiently and continue to improve on my own life so that by then I will be ready to love him completely. I know I can’t hurry love and it’s better to take time to really get to know a person before we jump into anything. So yes, I understand that there will be a lot of waiting to endure. But I will embrace the wait, I will embrace the journey because I know that if it’s meant to be, it’s going to happen.
Thank you for taking time out to read my letter dear Universal Forces. Crossing my fingers that Mr. Right is on his way to cross paths with me.
Love,
Mickie
