Dating in Your 40’s

Dating can be an education if you let it. The expense of it is the hope you tie to that person… You’re not sad because it didn’t work out with that specific person, you’re sad because you hoped you were done dating. But just like learning to make homemade gravy that doesn’t taste like flour, you keep trying until you figure it out. 😄😄

One day when you get tired of making excuses for poor behavior, you suddenly realize why the pattern is more important than the potential. Without the bad, how can you appreciate the good? Be thankful for the douchers. Appreciate your time with the narcissists. Embrace experiencing the selfish. Applaud the philanderer.

Because without them, you’d never know what you absolutely won’t tolerate and what you can’t go without. Without them, you’d not understand what quality looks like or what sincerity feels like. God promises to turn it all around for your good when you trust the process. Let Him.
