As I write this I'm sitting on a couch in the mall. Behind me is an escalator, in front: strand bags. The stand at the door to the store, directly in front of me is Women’s purses. They're actually really nice and 25% off. A couple caught my eye, but I'm just not really interested.
Why not, you may ask?
Because the perfect one already belongs to me. I looked for it for a long time. Finding it was such a mission! The thing is, I always know exactly what I want or at the very least, Exactly what I don't want. That's a bit of a problem just ‘cause I know what I want doesn't mean it's any easier to find. In actual fact I think it makes it harder.
Sometimes In the past I've bought a cheap wallet, as it was kind of like what I wanted. But after a while I'd start to hate it, or find another one which exhibited different qualities of my dream wallet and it would satisfy me for a little while.
I got to the point where I was sick of getting these wallets that were not what I wanted. What was the point of having something I didn’t want, just to have something?
And then I met my dream Wallet. I'd been telling my family what I was looking for, for a long time. I want a tan leather wallet, long and as thin as possible. I want it to have enough room for a few cards, a zip for coins and for it to fit nicely in the hand.
One day my lovely mother found it on sale in the factory outlet Oroton store.
It is absolutely and exactly what I've been looking for all this time. Thank goodness my mum found it for me as I never would have looked in the Oroton store (heck, we all know I’m too poor and cheapskate for that!)

It was worth the wait. I kind of wish I hadn’t spend that $100 I probably spent all up buying the multiple dodgy wallets in an attempt to fill the space. But now the search is over. You other wallets aint got nothing on the one that's right here, cozy in my hand.
And this is where I’m at with guys too… I know what I want, at the very least I know exactly what I don’t want. I’ve settled for a few that I knew weren’t quite what I wanted. But I’m over that now. I have not found the ‘perfect’ one yet. But I can’t be bothered settling for less anymore. When window shopping many guys still catch my eye. But I don’t want to look back later on once I’ve finally met the one that meets all my needs and think just like with all my purses, “man I wasted so much of my time on all those wrong guys, wish I hadn’t now”.
So here I wait, I’ll invest my time into things worthwhile. Into becoming the person God wants me to be, into living healthier and becoming more self-less. To quote one of my best friends, who when writing about how she feels, expressed exactly what I also feel:
I’ll trust that God has my future safely in his hands, and just like my mum finding the perfect purse for me, I believe that God has it all sorted… Cos seriously, even though I know what I want, It is not easy to find!
"[I'm Enjoying] The promise of falling in love one day. Until then, I choose to protect my heart, my emotions, my spirit and my body so that when my prince charming comes along, I can love him with all of me whole."
I’ll trust that God has my future safely in his hands, and just like my mum finding the perfect purse for me, I believe that God has it all sorted… Cos seriously, even though I know what I want, It is not easy to find!
'The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him.' Lamentations 3:25
Make sure you've got your mum on the look out for the perfect guy too ;) Who knows, maybe one day she'll bring him home for ya x x
