It’s been a while since I’ve talked about dating. Lately, I’ve honestly been the happiest I’ve been in a long time working, reading my Bible, and truly focusing on myself. It’s also been a while since I’ve even had a real conversation with a man.
Dating after healing feels like something so special. But I’ve noticed that when you’ve done a lot of healing, you can become very cautious about everything. And sometimes I wonder if that’s a good thing. When I think about dating, I imagine two people simply being themselves and enjoying the process of getting to know each other.
But lately I’ve caught myself being extremely cautious, overthinking every little thing I say or do.
This morning I had a realization: I need to stop overthinking, take things day by day, and allow myself to enjoy the process again.
I think part of my overthinking comes from the fear of trying again and possibly choosing the wrong person. But I also know that fear shouldn’t steal the joy from a new beginning.
