Have you ever reached a point in your life where you just gave up on finding love? A moment where you decided to embrace solitude because every attempt at love seemed to end in disappointment? Well, that was me not so long ago, standing at the crossroads of heartbreak and despair, having resigned myself to the idea that love was just not in the cards for me.

I used to believe that the key to finding love was in desperately seeking it. I thought that if I chased it hard enough, it would eventually catch up with me. Little did I know, the universe works oppositely. It had its plans, and it wasn’t until I stopped actively searching for love that it found its way to me.

You manifest what you believe. If you’re desperate or chasing love like it’s some elusive treasure, you end up telling the universe that you don’t have it, and you won’t have it.

My journey began with a deep sense of loneliness and a longing for companionship. I craved love so much that I found myself entangled with every wrong match, praying each day for someone who would reciprocate, someone capable of understanding the depths of my heart.

Days turned into months, and months, turned into years, with my prayers seemingly unanswered. I had lost all hope of finding the right partner. I was ready to settle for someone who wasn’t quite my match, accepting the idea of being in an okay-but-not-great marriage.

The Turning Point: A Night of Revelation

And then, unexpectedly, it happened. The universe works in mysterious ways, and when I least expected it, the right person came into my life. It wasn’t a result of chasing or searching; it was a beautiful collision of two souls who needed each other.

The turning point came on a night when we both woke up at the same time 03:00 AM, a moment that made me realize how deeply we had fallen for each other. A heart-to-heart connection blossomed, proving that sometimes, love has its timing — one that aligns perfectly with the universe’s plan.

The Journey Won’t Be Easy

The journey wasn’t without its challenges. The Hopeless Mehak hesitated, doubted, and almost let her fear control her choices. But in the end, love conquered all, and I am now grateful for the unexpected twists that led me to where I am!

There were moments when I thought of giving up on this newfound love, setting conditions and ultimatums. Yet, the connection was too strong, too real to let go. I realized that this was my last attempt at love, my final leap of faith. It was worth a chance. If this didn’t work, I told myself, I would never marry anyone, as I couldn’t bear to give my heart away again.

Him

My partner turned into everything I ever wished for. It was a relief beyond words to see myself mirrored in someone else. The fears and hesitations went away, and I found myself effortlessly falling in love every day.

“Seeing myself in you is like discovering a missing piece of my puzzle.”

To my partner,

“You’re a rockstar. Thank you for choosing me and giving us a shot, even when I was being a bit of a drama with my emotional walls. Yes, there were tears, and yes, I made things complicated. But in the end, love won, and here I am, saying that the right person makes love feel like the most natural thing ever.”

Beyond Hopelessness

So, to anyone who has ever given up on love or feels lost in the pursuit of it, remember my story. Sometimes, love happens when you least expect it, and the universe conspires to bring two souls together. The right person, the right place, the right time — trust that it will happen. It’s a journey beyond hopelessness, a journey where love finds you, even when you stop searching for it, especially when you stop searching for it. :)
