Life as a Thankful Student and Marrying my friend

As a hardcore spiritualist, I loved to jump into situations and try my luck. The only issue I see at hindsight? I tried my luck more than my hard work, until life decided to be a teacher..  

I remember hugging a 7 year old girl when I was 16 myself, and I had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to be a mother to a girl. I started looking for my soulmate as I had a strong feeling that there were 2 of them, I was looking for. One would be my husband, and the other, our girl child. In college, I entered an emotionally abusive relationship which didn’t teach me much back then, but turned my life upside down. I was selected for a job while I was doing my Bachelors and my parents ripped me out of that comfortable life to get rid of this boyfriend of mine. They sold our beautiful big house and I was forced to learn what life really was. At that time, I felt like I was punished for loving. I was proposed to, by someone I liked as a friend, in this workplace but I knew that my parents would never agree. I turned him down, not thinking much. I rebelled life in general and left that job.   

Working in a better company and finally liking my life, I started to feel like I wanted my soulmate now. With the limits I had within what I could choose, I chose someone from the UK who seemed to be the man I was looking for. I moved here, gave birth to my soulmate daughter and lived the most miserable 7 years of my life with a man who knew no limit to emotional and financial abuse. I left all hope, I started hating myself, became a hollow human being and started questioning why I destroyed my life in search of my soulmate.   

When things went out of hand, I decided to divorce and then life showed me what it was capable of, as the greatest teacher ever. I was on my knees almost every other day. But once I decided to divorce, I was a tigress- who knew her self worth, who had promised herself that she would never put her happiness down ever again. I started becoming independent, my wings started growing, had a full time job, bought my own 4 bed house, bought my dream Audi car, and my daughter was happier. The only dream left unfulfilled? I felt the gap of that soulmate again, a gap which was harder than I can imagine, to ignore.   

I started looking for him again. I started looking for him after I had everything in place, for I didn’t want to search for a husband who would help me with basics, or even luxury- I had them already. I made a few false presumptions, even fake fell in love as I was vulnerable emotionally, but stood back up after several emotional blows which acted like the building blocks of my real strong personality which I’m proud of, now.   

I got close to marrying someone and he showed his true colours, and this was a devastating blow which I couldn’t handle at that time. I felt like I lost all hope that love existed, and I finally decided to stay happy on my own. I trusted that my happiness was within me and wasn’t bound to my future husband. I took a holiday to Spain and wore what I like, went where I wanted to, and spammed my FB with videos and photos. I felt like I had finally broken the final shackles that I was in earlier- I started to love myself and taught my daughter to do the same. I started fighting for my happiness, and didn’t let anything stop me from reaching there.  

After I returned from the holiday, I decided to flirt all I wanted, to express everything within me, and life changed around me. It was as magical as you can imagine. I had suddenly gain 9000 plus followers on FB. Hundreds of them started reaching out to me for reasons unknown. I messaged my colleague from my first workplace whom I mentioned about earlier, and he started flirting. He already was separated from his wife by then and was going through a divorce himself. For the first time in my life, I flirted back and called him the next day. While speaking over the phone, I randomly asked what he thought of me, and this question changed my life. Came to know that he always liked me that I had put his interest down 15 years back, else we would have been married much sooner.  

I married him, my friend on the exact same date as I proposed him, after 5 months. My daughter who was bullied for not having a father, now not only has a father who loves her, but will fight the world for her happiness. My faith in this soulmate and my faith in life and miracles, all came together to make the most beautiful life of my dreams.   I agree that it took me 15 years of immense pain and patience to reach a place where I’m mentally and emotionally a stronger and a better person. But I don’t regret anything. If you’re battling with problems, don’t lose faith- as miracles are as excited to meet you as you are to meet them. Keep faith, don’t try luck like I used to before. Work hard and love life like a Humble student. ❤️
