Have Faith


As I have shared my online dating experiences with friends and family, it occurs to me that my stories are not unique. Anyone who has dipped a toe in the fluctuating online pool of prospects knows the catches are unpredictable at best.

For someone who likes nothing more than control, it has taken me a few months to understand that just because you can set narrow search parameters, select ideal qualities, screen for obvious crazy/creepy, etc., dating online is no less random than any other form of human interaction. Oh well.

Recently I was in one of the coolest places in Atlanta, Young Blood Gallery and Boutique, and discovered this incredible little book called Have Faith by Louis Cannizzaro.

Often, I mask my innate romanticism with cynicism, but this little gem pulled away all my affectations. I have since placed the book by my bed and re-read it when I need a little Faith.
