If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied, illuminate the "NO"s on their "Vacancy" sings; if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks, then I"ll follow you into the dark.
It's odd, the thing that bothered me the most about Cedarvill was the excess of romanit couples. THe reason that is odd is that the purity rules around here are through the roof in comparison to my public school's. No kissing, no long embraces, etc. however, that doesn't stop couples from getting serious just as quickly, maybe even more so here. I think because at my high school youth group there weren't really any couples I just don't place Christians into my picture of the dating world.
What does that say about my choices for the future? I always felt guilty about relationships before. I'm sure I'd rather see Christian couples holding hands than I would secular non-couples making out on every corner, but somehow when i see a non-Christian couple I subconsciously dismiss all judgment because they're not striving for the same things that I am. I'm sure it's going to be quite interesting when I begin to open myself to dating. It's like I have such high mental standards, but when it comes to practical application I just want to make people happy so I let them go.
Perhaps the more time I spend around functional couples the more faith in relationships I'll have. I keep thinking about whether or not I will date here, and the more time passes the less I want that- however I know myself well enough to know my tendencies. I know that I have spells of contentness in my single state and I know that those spells are often followed by a time of despiration. I also know, though, that my times of greatest joy and closeness to God are during my single spells.
It's almost as if I don't see romance as a Christian activity, when really it is very much a part of God's plan for man.
That saddens me. It always makes me sad when I see girls that have no trust when it comes to anything male. It's tragic to me when I see woman and girls with this resentful attitude about men. I know so many great guys, guys that would treat a lady like the princess she is. Guys that really just want a girl to talk to and hold and love- I know those kind of guys. So why do I have a perpetual mistrust when it comes to my own life?
I want to be able to let go of my past without replacing those experiences. I don't want to need a new, better, healthier relationship in order to restore my faith in men. Sure, that would be nice for the future- not gonna lie- but I don't want THAT to be the reason I'm ok again.
Hypothetically if you were point A and theoretically if I was point B, we would be, we would be frantically melting into one massive point that could overcome anything.
