To The Hopeless Romantic

I would like to credit Hallmark for these romantic expectations.

Dear Hopeless Romantics,

You are like me. You have these dreams of a beautiful fairy-tale and the perfect engagement. You have your engagement ring picked out. You have your wedding planned (in my case, a wedding slideshow) I know how hard it can be. I have had my fair share of toads, but I still have faith in my prince charming. I have faith that he is out there. I have faith that everyone will fall in love, especially my kind of people, the optimistic, innocent hopeless romantics.

I remember my first crush. It was in the 8th grade. I was 14 and I was so enchanted by this guy. That is when my hopeless romantic phase started because of this one crush I knew I what I wanted most out of life: love. And of course Troy and Gabriella were two inspirations because of their rooftop scene in the third High School Musical.

From then on, all of the romantic dreams started to play over in my mind. I am all like "That guy just smiled at me" "He is so cute" "I wonder if I leave my shoe out there, prince charming will bring it back to me"? I have literally had the third thought replay in my mind more than once. I think that people have their turns to fall in love because in the end we need to remember that God is the love of our lives. He created you, didn't he?

I absolutely love Chandler Bing because 1) He is hilarious, 2) He was always jokingly loyal and 3) He was a romantic at heart. Chandler is a hopeless romantic; he knew what he wanted and didn't let anyone tell him that Janice was too frisky for him, he simply wanted to be loved and to love in return. Even after Janice broke his heart, he never gave up on his chance at finding true love. And little did he know that his soulmate lived across from him in their apartment. Sometimes love takes time, but it is so worth the wait. Thanks Chandler for the love lesson.

Being a hopeless romantic is a rare thing. We believe that all people are destined to fall in love with their first love. I did, shoot, I still believe this can happen. People fall in love. Grace Kelly admitted to falling in and out of love all the time. Hopeless romantics are not naive. We understand that your first love is your first everything. Some of us, me, believe that people can have love at first sight and you can marry your first love. I believe in love.

As I come to the conclusion of being a hopeless romantic, I would like to credit the Hallmark movie channel for these expectations of love. For showing love in a clean and positive light. Thank you Hallmark for teaching me that love is patient, kind and everything I could ever dream about.
