Hi, I like to start by thanking all that read my story, because it is a blessing when I’m able to connect to anyone who shares The Secret.
Two years ago I was feeling depressed, to the point that nothing mattered to me. I was in the hospital and I could not sleep. Then I started to cry because no-one in my family had come by and visited me, and then after my sobs stopped I asked God with all my heart and soul to please send me someone who loves me, who could see past my sickness and cherish me, and have him be there for me, and have him give me all that I wanted which was unconditional love.
After I got out of the hospital I kept that in mind that I wanted someone to love and love me back. Time pass and I just didn’t seem to get an answer, but I wasn’t worried because I knew it would come. I started to feel good about my future, and then I started to go out, and that made me feel even better.
Then I meet Damian (my boyfriend). He had started to work on our family business. I didn’t really want to go out with someone my parents wouldn’t approve of, but at last after three months of persuading I said yes to dating him and the relationship started. I asked him not to tell my parents that we were dating, and he said yes and then started to work twice as hard than anyone in our company just to please my parents. His family wasn’t also happy that I was dating him because they said that I was a girl who would only make him suffer because he would never be enough. We had fights over our families but we always came back to each other.
I knew he loved me, but I wasn’t so sure until a week ago when my father had a fight with him and ended up firing him. He left and I felt like I was losing him. I cried and cried.
On Monday I saw this program where I saw The Secret. I had seen the book numerous times on the shelves and I never picked it up. By the time the program was over I just knew I had to get the book, I had to read it. The first thing I did on my lunch break was go to a nearby store and buy it, but for some reason instead of the book I picked the journal, and I started to write my thanks. Then I felt a little better, and then the next time I went in I bought the book, I read the first few pages and I was amazed at how I knew it was true… I just knew that all of it was as true as the air is that what we breathe. I knew because I had the greatest proof of it right in front of my eyes – it was my boyfriend. At that moment I realized he is my inspiration, we love each other very much, and I know my and his family will understand our love. I’m so glad that he is with me, and right as I type our love story I’m planning our wedding because we decided on a date.
Once again I would like to thank the universe for the gift of love, because I was able to find a way to be the happiest person there is. From now on I start anew.
