Patience, my love. Patience.
Not only is it a virtue, but successfully practicing it greatly reduces the amount of stress in one's life. I am naturally anxious. Wait wait wait... that's not right. "I have accumulated so much stress from living in the future that it feels normal to be tense these days." Yup, that's it. I have dreams for my future, and I know what you're thinking "atta girl, Elise! Be a dreamer!" I know what you mean but, I think I tend to take it a little too far. A lot of times my dreams are a little far fetched, which pushes me to work harder and acheive more, however it also means that I am not reaching most of my dreams. I have a few different dreams of how I want to be living in a few years. One has me in a little cabin in the woods, another is on a ranch with acres and acres of land, and another still reveals my materialistic side.... I guess having several dreams allows room for happiness in different situations, but I fear always landing in the mediocre.
The dream that plagues my mind often these days, and has been since I discovered boys, is finding my "true love". If you have read any of my earlier blogs, you may know this well already. I have not had a relationship last much longer than 6 months, by my own fault or no. This may have been to my benefit, since even the shortest one pierced my soul when it ended. I was young (I still am) and being in relationships shouldn't have been as important to me as it was. As I am slightly older now, I approach the time in my life where I can actually start looking for a long-term partner. I still have other things to focus on such as education, my spirituality, and the relationship with my family, but I can't seem to help but look for someone I want to spend my life with.
The qualities I'm looking for in a man are mostly centered around being cared for emotionally and physically. I want this man to love me and no one else for all that I am, forever. I want him to be able to take care of me and, if it happens, a family. I want him to believe what I believe as closely as possible, and be accepting of our differences. I want to be able to enjoy nature, travel, and adventure with him, living life to the fullest with no regrets.
