All I Ever Wanted

Estonia26, set designer
My best friend has always said that I keep on waiting for the prince on the white horse to appear never accepting that princes like this don’t really exist. I have always searched for “The One.” And always wanted so much to have found him already, that I have got stuck with people who are just not for me, knowing it all the while but trying to convince myself otherwise. It has, of course, always ended really badly. Or more rightfully, ended before having begun.
But still, even though emotional downfalls have been rough and my first and last relationship ended more than seven years ago, I have never given up the belief that He does exist.
And then, through lots of coincidences I read The Secret in March. And as everyone reading this text here probably knows it worked like a drug.
I started a list – the list for “The One.” I wrote everything I could think of I want to see in my dream man. Every night I picked up the list and reread it and added something. Finally there were more than hundred faculties and it took over a month, but finally I was ready and I decided he could come. That I was ready.
About the same time a friend asked me to be the designer on her student film. At first I said “no” because of overworking with a project and very little time for anything else, but then I felt I just HAD to do it. I tried to reason for a few days, but it did not leave me alone so I called her and said I would do it.
And when we had our first work meeting, making of the storyboard, ten days after confirming my list.. Well, I guess you can imagine. We sat at at the same table with my friend, the director, and the cameraman, a boy from the film school (the most handsome person you could think of) and it just began.. One minute and the connection was already there. We were working 10 hours in a row and work has never been more enjoyable. And two days after it was far from being just work anymore, and it was a flowing simplicity, everything so clear.
And out of these more than hundred faculties.. A hundred are there. At least. And I could have never imagined a person like this really exists. He is all I ever wanted. And more. He makes me the happiest person on Earth. He makes me complete.
And what is most important – I know he is “The One.”
I will have to be honest now and say that it did not remain so simple. He is younger than me and I guess he got a bit messed up, but I am willing to give him the time he needs. And I have no doubts. None. I have a new list saying it will all be fine and I know it will.
And I am so grateful to finally know him, to know he exists.
The princes do exist, you know.
