Unlucky in Love? Holding on to the Hope of Finding Love After Divorce by Jessica Lawrence

Am I unlucky in love? Perhaps.

I find myself falling, deeply, for people who I can't have. It is truly heartbreaking to know that there is a spark – chemistry, if you will – and yet it isn't attainable. Timing is a factor, other people are a factor, even distance can be a factor.

I question often, "Why?" Why does this happen to me? What have I done to deserve this? Will I ever get the happy ending I so desperately crave? Do I even have faith that it will happen to me in the end?

I tend to think that there is a plan for everyone, and everything happens for a reason. Sometimes I'm not so sure. Maybe I've watched too much “Sex and the City.” Maybe in my ripe age of 35, I'm becoming cynical. I find myself now questioning more than I ever have before.

My ex-husband recently proposed to his girlfriend. He didn't tell me, but I found out anyway. I know, people will say my time will come. Maybe I'm impatient. Or maybe I'm just tired of falling for the wrong people.

The only thing I can hold on to is hope.
