Dear seeking sister..

"My dear seeking sister,

You will meet a lot of men in your life. 

Please don't settle. 

Wait. 

Wait for the one you would want your sons to be like.

Find him, and then wait if you have to.

Wait for the one that treats you like a queen.

The one you can depend on to protect and take care of you.

Wait. 

Wait if you have to."
 -Yasmin Mogahed

Meanwhile, let's focus on self-improvement.

This quote doesn't mean that you have to wait for perfection. Nobody's perfect. And "Treating you like a queen" has nothing to do with money. It's about how he takes care of, protects and cherishes your heart. How he values you as a human being. I think that's my whole point of being single at the moment. (Who cares?)

Here's a simple truth that we have to face up, "the person that we meet at the wrong time is actually just the wrong person."
