Unsatisfied

I'm so unsatisfied with life right now.  I was in a wedding this past weekend, and had so many people approach me about my expectations in a man, and when I'll be walking down the aisle, that if my standards are too high I'll never find anyone, etc.  It made me think to myself, "Am I being too unrealistic?" I've been asking myself that question for a while now, and my answer always teeters.  Has God aligned someone, but because I'm being unrealistic, it may hinder my chance of meeting "the one"?

I was talking with a few friends, and they all told me that it will be impossible for me to find the man of my dreams.  I don't think I have to settle.  So I'll just leave it at that, and if he comes then he comes, if he doesn't then he doesn't and I'll be okay with that decision.

I'm happy for my friend though, she has been through her deepest lows and highest highs in the last few months.  She's strong and has endured almost unimaginable things.  I cannot believe she still had a smile on her face even though her father passed two months before her wedding, her matron of honor received news of thyroid cancer and had to go through radiation treatment and couldn't make it to her wedding, she got shingles the week of the wedding, and yet through all this, she was still glowing and smiling on her wedding day.  We all go through our ups and downs, and it's our attitude through these trials that determines what kind of person we are.

I should take a page out of my friend's book, and glue into mine.  I will lift my head up high and keep seeking for this man despite the adverse advice.
