So honestly when I turned 28 I was done with expecting to meet the love of my life. And well I was done waiting for Prince Charming. As you know I decided to quit my job as a store manager, grab all my savings and take a well deserved trip across Europe. So 2015 was the year I left it all behind to explore new worlds, taste all the different flavors the world had to offer and to meet new and amazing people from all over the world.
Despite everyone telling me how insane I was and how dangerous it be for a female to travel alone (I am serious some people would say things like what if you are attacked raped and murdered over there and no one knows where you are!) Luckily among all the discouragement there was also a lot of support. Like from my mom! My mom was amazingly supportive despite how much deep down it scared her she never let it show. Other people encouraged me as well and for that I am amazingly thankful.
The trip was fantastic It was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. It opened my eyes to a whole beautiful world around us. To the differences that should be admired. To how much there is to learn about. After this trip I learned there is no point in wasting your time with out living to the fullest in whichever corner of the world you're at.
So details on the trip can be found on past posts and I'll probably keep on writing some details on some of them since they changed my life so much.
When I came back It took me a few months to get back on my feet and find a job. It was stressful but it had all been so worth it.
By 2016 I had found a job. A job that I loved! it was fast and innovative and people were encouraging and it was a place I began to learn a lot. After the trip I decided that I would live life! To the fullest enjoying everything about it! And learning about it, opening my eyes to adventure and the world.
By 2017 I decided to do two crazy things that scared me and excited me. I decided to Parachute! and I decided to start online dating. The dating part scared me more that jumping off a plane.
So I signed up to dating websites! Not so much because I wanted to find "The One" But because I wanted to meet someone I could share my adventures with
The nerves dialed down a bit when I realized how many normal people use online as a way to date. I started with Catholicmatch.com thinking it be the place for me to find someone. But, well that was a downer. Then I heard about tinder which I tried for maybe a day before deleting it forever out of my life, what a traumatizing experience that was, bunch of creeps!
Then A friend of mine recommended Bumble! She said it was the Feminist app! The only way to go.
I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. But it turned out be quite interesting, I met some great guys who had interesting conversations, I met with others that had strange attachments to their cats, one confessed his undying devotion to me despite never meeting me, the crazy one that got furious because i didnt want to meet him for drinks at 11pm on a Tuesday at his place and well the one that blew me off once by a guy who kept texting me but never meeting me...
So after trying the feminist app I became so tired of swiping. It was like an addiction swipe swipe swipe, I wouldn't even start conversations anymore I would just swipe. I deleted it and was feeling defeated when I saw a commercial for something called Coffee Meets Bagel CMB. I looked and was skeptical but for some reason decided to sign up. I loved that it had NO swiping! it would match you with a few people every day and that was it, you'd have to wait to the next day to see more matches.
I was on it a few days when a cute guy messaged me. He said something super funny and was nice and I began talking to him. Hours later he asked for my number days later we met and then a blast of electricity plus flowing conversation, well long story short... I am engaged now!!! To be married in 2019!!!
So where am I know?
I jumped of a parachute in 2017 it was the most fantastic thing I have ever done!
After 2 years, because of layoffsI was let go this year on the same day as I was proposed too!!! That's life for you, IRONIC!!!! So now I am job hunting while wedding planning. It can be quite stressful some days but when I turn to my side and realize that the guy I thought would never come is here. When I see that The ONE does exist and that I was blessed to meet him at the right time at the right place. In a city I never thought I would live in! In a way I never believed it would work, But now here we are Him and I together facing the world, having adventures. Ready to promise to be together FOREVER! Everyday our love for each other growing more and more.
I know I can face any stress that heads my way!
And thats where I am, 30 years old and starting a WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE, WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!
