An introduction

Like all great modern day romances, this begins in New York, home of the city that never sleeps. A place filled with as much graffiti as it was with hopes and dreams.

But I do sleep and I don't live in the city. My hopes and dreams are pretty simple. And it's here that I add those hopes and dreams to those of others who have come before me looking for one thing.

Love.

I've been told that love will find me. That love would happen when it's right. Sadly, I am very impatient. It's hard when you see friends happy, experiencing life and you feel like you're missing out on something. Only problem is, I'm not sure what that something is. I've made so many promised to myself. Letters that have been started, finished, left in a box. All for that mysterious man I call my soulmate. My Romeo. My Mr. Darcy.

Is he out there? I certainly hope so. I have no idea where he is or what's taking him so long to find me. People say I'm young and I know I am. But I refuse to believe that my bring young means I'm not entitled to this. Maybe that's why I fight so hard to try to find someone. Why I put myself out there. So far, it's only ended in tears and disappointment. And yet, I haven't given up. There is still hope in my head.

I have been waiting here and I will continue to wait. But I will NOT do so idly. I'm going to give you, Romeo, a road map.
