My Personal Knight in Shining Armor

This week, I plan to take myself on a date- which has literally been postponed for weeks and weeks on end. Why? Well, because I have been waiting for someone else to do it. It is tempting to wait for someone, anyone, to come into to my life and treat me the way I desire to be treated- applicable to both romantic and non-romantic relationships. Sometimes, I am waiting for that friend to hear me out when I have a lot on my mind. Sometimes, I am waiting for my soulmate to remind me of what true love it when I am yearning for companionship. Sometimes, I am waiting for someone to show up with flowers or spontaneously take me out on a fun date when I need a reminder that I matter.

Sometimes, I wait for someone else to step in and fulfill a healthy need I have- which is natural. However, I also need to realize I can step in to fulfill at least some of the needs I have.

Lately, I desire to feel special. So, whether I go solo or with a friend, I will take myself out on a date to remind myself that I am someone worthy of spending quality time with- someone who is special.

How have you stepped up to show up for you?
