I’m lost, directionless, and lonely, tossing and turning in my sleep, praying that You will pave the way for me to discover my purpose.

You wonder when life will look up for you, when you’ll step into the light and begin achieving your dreams.

When they ghost you unexpectedly, remember that you are still worthy of love. 

Together, you’ll both walk into a new chapter of your life — a happier, lighter chapter.

They’ll stand by your side at every stage, assuaging your every fear of short-lived love because they want you to be their forever.

When you’re ready for marriage, you stay faithful.

Date someone who supports you unconditionally.

Rejection can seem scary, but it’s survivable.

I wanted you. No matter how many times you hurt me.

You deserve someone who won’t run in the darkest moments, someone who will stay by your side and help you see the light again.

One day, you’ll see the beauty of His perfect timing, the reasons why you got your heart broken, the reasons why He saved such precious moments for later in your life.

I miss you most at midnight, when I lie awake tossing and turning by the light of the moon, knowing that we should be together, wishing you were by my side.

It’s time to recognize that you deserve more than half-hearted love.

Maybe your journey is about listening to yourself. 

If it’s love, it won’t hurt.

You struggle with the thought that you heal others to avoid healing yourself.

You feel like your life is escaping you, like your best years are falling far behind you.

Like my fellow unlucky-in-love 2020 daters, I didn’t ask to fall for someone as our world devolved into absolute chaos.
