My niece, who is almost 18, is looking for a boyfriend. I feel for her. It's hard to be young, and to want a real relationship as opposed to just someone who wants a good time.
Tonight, I gave her the best advice that I could, remembering well how it is to be unsure of myself and trying to figure out what I wanted in life. It's the advice that I wish someone would have given to me.
"K......., you are incredible. There are men out there who will adore you, treat you like a Queen, and who will dream of settling down and making a life with you. They are out there. When the time is right, you will meet them. In the meantime, you need to do a few things. Be the sweet girl that I know you are. Live, travel, get your education, have hobbies that interest you, make friends, love the friends that you have and spend time with them, experience life, try new things, read and be knowledgeable about the world around you and about current events, love your family, find a cause and volunteer for the things you are passionate about, discover and develop your personal style, study books about etiquette and follow them religiously, have a personal philosophy, get a job, make a life for yourself that you love, be happy with what you have, make a life plan and have goals for yourself. When you have a life that you love, and are happy, love will come to you. While you're waiting, get out there and live. Love you, Kiddo......."
I hope she finds the love she wants and deserves. I'm cheering her on.
