I hope to find love again one day. <\/p>\n

I hope it’s an ego-less love. <\/p>\n

The kind of love that makes us not breaks us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope the guy I meet:<\/p>\n

Believes that love is so much more important than being right.
\nBelieves that being gentle is a signature of strength.
\nBelieves in living a life of example and not just words.
\nBelieves his mother is the greatest woman in the world besides me.
\nBelieves his sisters and brothers are his very best friends.
\nBelieves in stopping to help an elderly person struggling with their groceries.
\nBelieves in making faces at the baby being held by his mother.
\nBelieves that a dog is a wonder of unconditional love.
\nBelieves that generosity is more important that money in the bank.
\nBelieves in loyalty so strongly that he scoops up and shields the ones he loves.
\nBelieves in Faith & family & knows even if his world falls apart, he has everything.
\nBelieves in himself so confidently, he loves generously rather than takes shamelessly.
\nBelieves life is about growing into better people than we once were.
\nBelieves that control is less important than others being happy.
\nBelieves that when he is with the ones he loves, that the world makes total sense.<\/p>\n

I hope to meet a guy one day.<\/p>\n

I hope to meet a guy that defines himself so well, that I can predict how he will interpret me.<\/p>\n

I hope to find a guy who was loved so unconditionally that he knows how to love.<\/p>\n

I hope to find love again.<\/p>\n

An ego-less love.<\/p>\n

The kind of love that makes us – not breaks us.<\/p>\n

Born to my native Brooklyn parents, I have a love of all things city and all things country. I found myself in the town of Scranton, Pennsylvania, which prior to The Office, nary a soul could envision less you found yourself on the hills of Interstate 81. I was held up there while I pursued my B.S. in Business. I have two passions: Business marketing and writing. The two are not so terribly different. Why? Cultivating a brand is in essence the story and the connecting of the dots of a corporate entity. I write features for various magazines and newspapers and I am a national divorce columnist (what can I say things didn\u2019t turn out quite the way I thought they would). I am also a former business columnist. For more than fifteen years, I spent my summers on the Jersey Shore in what I call my \u2018out of state\u2019 clothes once again magnetized to the northerners I find so familiar. If I were to brand my writing, I would say I write of LOVE. That is the core from which I begin most stories. I find myself drawn to dig for the moments in the story that are the passion that drive the message. It may be the love of what originally started a business or an authentically motivated personal profile, or simply the love of a subject being investigated which compels me to write. My forever favorite form of writing is the human interest essay or what I call, \u201cAn Interview With Life.\u201d The average day that is explored and somehow once again instills in us a joie de vivre\u2026..a joy of life. These human moments are the Hope Virus that spreads amongst us and can\u2019t help but propel us into better human beings with a larger sense of the world.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/author\/corme"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/575"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2115"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2212,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2115\/revisions\/2212"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/howgreatthoupart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
