the difference between dreams and reality.
Our eyes met across the room. There is an ocean of people surrounded us, yet he is the one who catches my eye. No words are exchanged, just a constant stare. He stares back…looks away, then turns back for a second look. Butterflies erupt in my stomach… and I can’t bring myself to say hello. I open my mouth, but not a word comes out. Embarrassed I turn away, hoping that he didn’t see me, but secretly wish he did. Time stopped as we look intently at each other. Can he actually see me? Oh wait, he can, I’m just a disappointment to him; not what he’s looking for.
Bummer! I wish I was popular, then he would like me. If I was cool and had the best clothes around, he would notice me right? I got it…if I found out what kind of girl he likes, I could adopt her persona and pretend to be exactly what he is looking for. Then he will notice me, and will fall in love with me.
Wait a minute… he speaks! Is he actually talking to me? He’s looking at me…but check behind you in case there’s a beautiful blonde standing at you back. No one’s there. He noticed me…signs!!! He leaves…will I see him again? Or have I just lost the only chance I had of talking to my true love?
Love at first sight? Now back to reality. This is not how we will meet our princes and princesses folks. So don’t cling to the dream of what might have been…and start looking to the future of what might actually come true. This is a beautiful dream, but it is just that, a dream. Films would have us believe that this is what actually happens, but it’s not. Sorry to break it to you.
If you have to change any of your values or beliefs for a guy, then he aint the one for you. Sure, be exactly what he is looking for…but then you need to begin the search for yourself. You will be completely lost in this web of lies, this persona of being someone you’re not. I would much rather have a thousand people hate me for who I am (not that hard to find, trust me) than have one person love me for being someone I’m not. Unfortunately, not everyone is the same. Some people feel rather insecure and think they need to change to have someone love them. You don’t. You are all fearfully and wonderfully made by my awesome Father…and well (as my dearest Kirsten used to say), my God doesn’t make junk! He created you the way you are for a special reason, bare with Him. His timing doesn’t always suit us. Want to make Him laugh…tell Him your plans….but His timing is perfect!
Be yourself people and don’t be afraid to stand up for what you believe. And if there’s that person out there that you like…seek God first. He knows best.
peace
