Take charge and map out the course of your life before you end up parachuting into the trees. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I've spent a good part of my life seeking love. That is, until I realized that I had all the love I needed with me all along. In September of 1993, at a time when I was resigning myself to a life devoid of love, I was introduced to a wonderful man, a man I thought was my soulmate, the love I had been longing for in my life. We were instantly, desperately drawn to each other, neither of us having ever experienced such an enormous degree of recognition, acceptance, and comfort from another person. We talked for hours on end, never wanting to let go.
