So, I've had a terrible case of writer's block lately. Which is odd for me because I'm always overflowing with thoughts and words. It's kinda bothered me too, because I've been wanting to write. I have a personal blog where I've posted only once in the past few months. And then there's this blog. About relationships. Ugh.
To be completely honest, I just haven't really had much to say on the topic. I think it has something to do with my current aversion towards relationships...Well, maybe not aversion. Because I'm not against them or anything like that. Nope. On the contrary, I've always been what I'd like to call a hopeful romantic. I'm all for love and happiness and practically any other magical, disgustingly adorable romantic thing you could think of. But as of late, I've been turned off to the prospect of relationships. More on that in future posts...
But along with that, I've really delved into singleness. Like the acceptance of it, the purpose of it, the need to be patient in the midst of it. Yuuup, alladat. I kinda hinted at the topic in the post "Would You Date Yourself?" Now, it's becoming more and more of a focus in my own life. Seriously, each day it becomes more and more clear to me why I am currently single. There are things I have to deal with...things that I've been avoiding, things that I've been in denial about, things that I am resistant to change. There are issues that would only intensify if I were to enter in to a relationship at this juncture. There are lessons to be learned, ones that I gotta learn on my own. And the list goes on and on...
The more I think about it, I've come to recognize that this is a season of pruning. I've tried to avoid it all, but I've reached a point where I can't anymore. There are some limbs that need to be cut off. I gotta get rid of all of the unnecessary stuff in my life. And now is as good a time as any to take care of it...Don't be surprised if some of my upcoming posts highlight this process.
