This letter was part of my proposal to her as well, and she appreciated it so much.<br /><br />Thank you for all of your support, keep your head up, and spread the love!Michael J.

I was recently feeling doubtful if there were any good men left out there who are willing to cherish, respect and love their wives. And then i read your letter... and faith was restored. It made me cry, i don't know if it was because you write so amazingly, or the fact i was listening to Alicia keys whilst reading it that it just amplified my emotions. You sound like a very loving and compassionate person, and i truly hope you find your perfect girl.

Your wife is a lucky lady even if she doesn't know it (or you!) yet. <br />Your letter has given me the desire to live my life as though I am loved and in love, with the courage that only lovers know. To take on the world and be sure in all I do. Because somewhere, out there, someone has written this letter to me. I am loved and in love, I have all the support in the world, I'll live my happily ever after - I just haven't met my husband yet.<br /><br />Thank you for your gorgeous words, your beautiful heart, and for restoring my hope.<br /><br />-JaneJanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827192023944829664.post-19223688868561211782013-05-21T18:59:16.549+02:002013-05-21T18:59:16.549+02:00Well, thank you for at least contributing to my tr...Well, thank you for at least contributing to my traffic statistics ^_^Michael J.

Although, if she really loves grapefruit, arak, or radishes, then we'll have to figure out a solution (e.g., she can eat all of my radishes and wash them down with arak haha). <br /><br />Definitely though, I think that goes without saying. Maybe I should have emphasized how supportive I will be too. But that's what I also mean/allude to by this line:<br /><br />"I hope you think I'm a good man. I try to be. Not just for you, but I want you to be proud of me. I want you to say, "I'm with him," and beam about it. Because that's how I'll feel about you."<br /><br />Thanks for reading S. :) <3 Michael J.

I'm quite engaged in a number of things, and as I conqueror my 20s, I think these engagements will become more profound, more important, and create a certain level of stability.<br /><br />And hey! Sometimes you just gotta live. And things will happen when they're meant to happen. You just have to make sure you're doing your part in the meantime, including pursuing your own dreams and passions. I've always been told to not overthink things ;) Michael J.

I wonder thou...Michael -- this is really beautiful. I wonder though, just for sake of discussion since this is also your field of study, if you might be overlooking one important ingredient in preparing yourself for the love of your life -- namely, the importance of engaging in effort on behalf of something worthwhile outside of your relationship. <br /><br />Whether that's your poetry, your work in India, or planting a garden -- who knows -- but surely, a woman as great as all that would deserve a partner and spouse whose love encompasses more than just his feelings for his wife? Some since of engagement with the world, with art, with ideas, with something. <br /><br />Otherwise, it all seems solipsistic, despite the corollaries with fairy tales. <br /><br />On the other hand, maybe this is why I am single. :) Keep up the writing and good luck in finding the woman of your dreams. She'll be a lucky lady.<br /><br /> michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827192023944829664.post-57415838467257485412013-05-13T10:31:15.449+02:002013-05-13T10:31:15.449+02:00:)
