Finding Mr. Right

With the first breeze of february and the abundant displays of hearts strewn all over the place, the quest for finding Mr. Right is about to become a race against time.

In our society, the 14th of february has become an event to look out for. The whole month has even become a season itself. Proposals are thrown, dates are made, preparations are set and plans are put in motion. But has tradition really taught us that we need somebody special to be able to celebrate valentines? Has it taught those who have no dates to be cynical and jaded?


We all want the right person beside us, holding our hand, loving us.
We all want romance. we all want love. And this specific want is heightened as you watch people on awkward first-dates and couples walk by, hand in hand almost everywhere in town.
You then ask yourself: Where is he? Where is Mr. Right?

The answer is unknown.

No amount of foreseeing and fortune-telling can tell you that. In time, you will meet him. Cliche? Yes. Yet it's also the truth. There is that certain person out there destined to meet you - somehow, somewhere. When you meet him, you will know. The spark, the magic, the chemistry and so much more than you're expecting will be there.
You just have to be patient.
You have to believe.


This may also be one thing good about valentines. seeing couples on happy dates and feeling the aura of love everywhere.

Wait.
Maybe this is the magic this season holds.
It's knowing that love still works. and it still can for all of us.


As we celebrate this years valentine's day, we may not be on a perfect date, we may not even be on one. We may not have the perfect guy, we may not even have one. But if you look around you, you'll see you've got friends who'll stick with you and you've got your family who'll walk through fire for you. They should be more than enough reason for this celebration.


True, we may not have Mr. Right but then again, we've got all the important persons who will make everything right. :)


FYI: Created this just in time for valentines, just never got around to posting it. (chuckle)
