If you gotten to know me, I’m one to always look for the silver lining in every situation. At the start of lockdown, I was hopeful, had hopes of doing things I “never had time to do”. I had good intentions of blogging more, finally pursue meditation, uncluttered my home, exercise more, only to find myself months later with none of it being done!
Despite my desperation to “finding myself” God still used this time in areas of my life I needed healing the most. Dating during a global pandemic has brought on some challenges. However with these setbacks, we have the wonderful world of online dating. We still have the advantage of staying connected and still meeting new people. Actually having the time to getting to know one another, before any chance of hooking up. Times I felt like I dodge a few bullets if it wasn’t for lockdown. In these few months, the guys that no longer served me, I’ve managed to cut ties with. More alone time and no distractions has made me force to realize what is it that I want and more importantly what is it that I deserve in a romantic partner, to a point where I find myself happy with being single.
I have taken for granted my freedom I have of making my own choices without having to consider someone else’s before my own. Saying this might sound a bit selfish, but I’ve established enough good relationships in my life where I’ve invested into to consider others that I care about. Having a romantic partner will just be the cherry on my “cake of happiness” I’ve baked for myself to enjoy. A cake sure looks appealing with toppings, but still tastes the same without it.
