You Are Wonderfully Made

People’s reactions to my last post inspired me to talk about something that I think is very important.

Your “success” in the dating world does not define your worth.

Your dating life might vary vastly than many of your friends, but one thing is certain:

The inability of someone else to recognize your value does not mean it’s not there. We all have such uniquely beautiful and wonderful things to add to the world, and I think individuals have the ability to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

I was really surprised to get messages from people trying to console me or make the guy who turned me down sound like a jerk. He just wasn’t into me. Honestly, it’s not a big deal and really doesn’t reflect anything on his or my character. Most people you meet won’t be a love connection and that is perfectly fine. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, and my hope is that there is just one very special person who will work out for the long run.

I hope everyone realizes that each and every one of you has value greater than your weight in gold. I genuinely believe this, and don’t want you to think you did something that just didn’t measure up for someone if they don’t reciprocate your feelings for them. They just aren’t right for you. You deserve someone who loves and appreciates all that you have to offer!

Today’s lesson: No matter how amazing you are, not everyone is going to want to date or be friends with you. That makes the people you are close to in your life even more special!
