How I Met the Love of My Life
- You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile
— Uncle Kracker, “Smile”
Well, chickies, this is where one journey ends and a new one begins. It’s time for me to get back to the fun Nathan… the Nathan who posted crazy, outlandish posts, filled with good humor and an occasional glimpse at my sweeter side.
I’ve spent the past 12 months searching for love. I found it in many places and ways. But what it really came down to was finding real, everlasting love. I feel like I’ve found it. I really hope I have. Some people search their whole life for it.
My hero’s name is Daniel. That’s his real name. I feel no need to hide him behind any false screen names. He’s real and therefore I want the story of him to be real too.
I first saw Daniel on Facebook last fall and was immediately attracted to him. But that was the extent of it. We never connected until this past February, where I saw him at a party. That’s when we were first officially introduced.
At the time, I was going through all that dark, heavy stuff. Depression, another break-up, losing my house, going to counseling. Not a pretty place.
But we noticed each other, we liked each other and were attracted. It was only after I’d worked through all my stuff that I could truly be open and available for a new relationship. And I got there. I’m there now. It’s a really good place to be.
Now that my head is truly clear, my heart is truly open, it’s all coming together for me. There have been a few times in the past when I thought that was the case, but it led to a dead-end. I’m feeling so confident that this time is different.
I love Daniel in ways I never knew you could love someone. This is my happy ending.
Now I hope I can get back to my upbeat posts!

I think that quote sums you up nicely.
Aww thank you Nick! I think that’s just right!
