So I did it, I went on a first blind date like ever in my life. But I am not sure that it would be considered blind date as we have been texting for a few weeks now. But did I see a recent picture of him, no, so technically, I guess it was a blind date. It was nice to talk to someone and just be able to listen and laugh to stories being told. If nothing else, I made a friend. I am grateful I went and I am grateful I did not overthink it all. I am probably doing that now, but some changes just take time.
With new experiences, come new thoughts and new ways of thinking. I met with a man that would not be my typical man. According to my history. But as everyone gets older what you are looking for changes. I am looking for someone who is honest and respects me. I have not had that yet, so it is what I am looking for. Someone who can share about their feelings about things that may have hurt them in the past. Someone who is honest about who they were and who they want to become. I want to be that person as well. I want to be honest about who I am and who God created me to be. He created me to laugh and have joy. He created me to tell silly jokes and be sarcastic. I am who he created me to be. I am working on laughing and smiling more. I am excited about the friendships he will bring into my life through it all.
