"True love" is worth waiting for.....in the mean time, take the time to live, grow strong, and learn to love yourself. When you can love yourself, you will attract that special someone who can love you too for who you really are inside. I have waited all of my life and been in two long-term relationships before finding true-love. I wouldn't trade anything for it. There is always hope.
