So often I find myself reading these letters and ruminating in the similarities I have found my own life in with heartbreak and hurt.

Today I woke up with a spark of hope, not just for my heart, but for my love life in general.

The past couple of months I finalized a divorce, and I lost a GF that I was going through the divorce to be with. Don't judge me, I recognize that I made some poor decisions on my part. I certainly have felt the failure I have been recently.

Two weeks ago, in an unexpected turn of events, I had a woman I've known for a long while reach out to me to express that she had deep feelings for me, and wanted to see if I would be open to talking. Because of all of my messed up circumstances I had never considered her as someone that would have any interest in me. Not to mention, she is way above my pay grade in the looks department. I should also mention that this beautiful woman is everything that I could ask for. She is intelligent, educated, family-oriented, practical, spiritually mature, and sensual, all in the same package. To say I am giddy would be an understatement.

With how the conversations have gone with her over the past couple of weeks, our emotional connection is undeniable. She has been so supportive and has even encouraged me to write out my feelings for the losses I've had over the past two months. I really hadn't thought that writing my hurts and feelings out would help me at all, but they actually did help me release the emotional ties that I had been struggling with.

After talking with this woman (her name is Lindsay) late into the evening last night, I woke up this morning with a renewed vigor for life and a restored hope in my romantic future. It has been a long time since I felt truly hopeful and light, as it pertains to my love life. Even with the ex GF, I had so many reservations to move forward with anything permanent. There were just so many red flags. Like the cool air that's blowing in, Lindsay has my spirits flying so high. It's amazing how meeting the right person can erase all the sorrow you had been swimming in. I can already see the timing of her as a perfect God-send. I am cautiously optimistic, but eagerly open to where this is going. Maybe I'll follow up as things unfold.
