If I hadn’t completely stopped looking for love 6 years ago, I’d never have such an amazing and wonderful partner. I was down and out. I was jaded and disillusioned. I was all done. I decided the dating pool was poisoned and I wasn’t gonna put even a tip of a toe in that funk ever again. ANd then BAM! Just like a bad actor in a shitty movie, he fell RIGHT INTO MY LAP WITH NO EFFORT OR PERSONAL WORK ON MY PART! All I had to do was give up!
Oh, there were haters. There were people who said because I was such a slut that a man like him would never want me. There were those skeptics out there who thought our long distance relationship would never last.
But we proved them wrong, and I just wanted to reiterate again that I am SO LUCKY! and not just lucky! I WORKED SO HARD! I earned what I have!

And I’m a smug asshole, and maybe I’ll be one of the divorced ones in a few years. But fuck you, haters, because at least I got my few happy years out of it! Plus 2 babies, one of which might be here tonight. You just never know what the universe has in store for you when you stop harassing it and let things happen.
