How I did it: I thought I was alone in the world for most of my life. No-one viewed life the way I did, and no-one understood me. I settled for far less than I am worth, and got incredibly hurt in the process. But one day, I met this man. And he saw things through the same lenses that I do. He understands me, and loves me despite my silliness, emotionality, and over-analytical nature. Not only that, but he loves me BECAUSE of those things and doesn't expect me to change based on some pre-determined set of characteristics he expects to acquire in a person. He was out of my league. I was out of his apparently. But we found each other. On a cold night on a sea-lice infested beach, he found me. I ran from him because he could see into my soul. On a cold night outside my car out in the street, I found him. He ran from me because I could tell his own thoughts back to him. But we stopped running and now I am lucky enough to be with him. The person I've been waiting for my whole life.

I prayed to God to stop me from running beyond myself and neglecting what He wanted for me. I stopped settling for second best, or worst. I stopped letting people take advantage of me, and I refused to consider anyone who was in it for themselves. Then I gave up my own selfish ambition and resolved to love another person as faultlessly, absolutely, endlessly, and relentlessly as I possibly could. I looked for God's love shining through in another person and I found it. My boyfriend can't love me the way he does without Him, and that is what makes it so amazing.
