Hard to Find.

Sometimes a song is best to express what is going through your head when ordinary words can never be arranged to truly convey what you are feeling.

If you've read my blog, you know I have typically had a slightly jaded view on men/romance and all that jazz and with good reason. I have spent plenty of nights crying and cursing men, or just the last man to of crossed me and/or broke my heart. I felt that the whole lot of them were all the same. I had gotten to the point where I had begun to lump every single one of them together - as jerks. By default because of the actions of a few.

This is simply not the case dear reader. I am here to tell you today that good men ARE out there. Now I've met every possible cad, cheat, liar, creep and bastard that fancied himself a worthy catch only for me to discover that beneath that so called sweet demeanor was a not so nice guy who just had learned to work an angle.

I was cautious. I was protective. I was sure that I would not find myself falling for the usual song and dance routine from would-be suitors when I found myself single again. Then, I stumbled upon a man at a chance encounter, and what began as just friendly banter soon began to take the shape of something else entirely.

At first, I dismissed it. I had no business even thinking about men, after all, I had swore them off for the "last" time. Somehow we have the best of intentions but follow-through becomes the problem. And I am glad I have never been very good at follow through.

You see, I met this man. Notice I didn't say "guy" or "dude". I say man because he is mature and from every action and indication, knows how to treat a woman. He is unconditionally sweet, kind and thoughtful. And frankly, I have never come across a man like him before. I look into his eyes and see nothing but sincerity. The best part of all, he makes me feel special, adored beyond anything else and beautiful and as if I he is lucky to have found a gal like me.

My faith is starting to be restored in men day by day, thanks in part to the good one that I have found. I hope he knows that there isn't a day when I don't think just how lucky I am and happy that I took that chance because a good man, is indeed hard to find. Sometimes it's when you're not looking is the very moment you'll find one.

Best,

Anne
