Don't Give Up On Love - A Letter From Your Future Self

Hey Honey,

I know this dating can all feel so overwhelming, frustrating, exhausting, and depleting.

I know. Oh how I know.

I know how hard and scary it can be for you to put us out there to be so exposed and vulnerable to it all.

I know how hard it is to trust that all this effort and discomfort is worth it - to believe our person is out there and that they will love us back as deeply as we love them.

I know how unmotivating it feels, after a long day at work, to pick up your phone and swipe just for the rare occasion a profile excites you. Only to be letdown and disappointed after swiping right to not match at all OR matching and making the effort to write a clever message and then get no response. Crickets. WTF. So grueling.

And can we talk about waste of time bad first date…ugh…

Not to mention the fear of what if we do meet someone we like and the stress of getting naked in our imperfect body, having our insecurities exposed, and the fear of it not ending up working out.

I know you're tired and just thinking WHERE IS HE ALREADY DAMMIT!!!

I know sweetie. I know.

I’m here to tell you we find them in the end.

You make it happen for us.

It’s not always easy, there are some bumps, disappointment, wasted time, and hurt feelings along the road to finding our love.

But you get us our Boo to cozy up to at home on a rainy night, make dinner together, and then snuggle up on the couch. (Sorry - there are some remote battles… nobody’s perfect)

You get us our person to share life with. To vacation with. To be our plus one. To be our emergency contact.

You got this - you can do hard things.
You can figure this out.
We are worth it.
Remember it just takes one.

Oops -gotta go - Boo just yelled that the Uber is here - it’s date night and he’s surprising us! 👏👏👏

Love you,
Your Future Self

(please swap “he” for “she/they” - whatever you’re wanting to create in your life! LOVE FOR ALL! 💋)
