My Final Thoughts (For Now) -
I've come to realize lately that I might be slightly bitter when it comes to dating. I haven't really had any great experiences with it and haven't had the man of my dreams sweep me off my feet. But the one thing that never changes is that I pick myself up off the ground (greatly relying on other people) and I move on.
There are going to be failed relationships or even crushes that just don't turn into relationships. There are going to be bad days, bad weeks and bad people in general. It doesn't matter. There will be someone someday who will be the perfect match for you and will "complete" you.
That doesn't mean there's "The One". That just means there is always hope. There is always faith. I've seen lots of people who haven't gotten married until they were in their thirties or forties or older. But they are happy. They find the person they love and they are always grateful they waited.
When bad things happen, we need to let them go and move on. In some cases, we might need to completely eject someone from our lives. But then it's time to learn your lessons, forget the bad memories and move on.
Go out, have fun, be yourself. If you're in high school or haven't gone on a mission yet, DON'T STEADY DATE. It makes life so much more complicated than it needs to be. I regret having a boyfriend in high school, partially because I was betraying my own promises to myself by doing so. Don't date someone who's about to go on a mission. That can easily lead to heartbreak for both parties.
But most importantly, turn to the Lord. Listen to what He wants you to do and DO IT. He won't guide you wrong.
Go to the temple. Do baptisms for the dead. Have questions in mind and ask Heavenly Father for the answers to come. Ask for His help.
Remember to keep the Big Picture in mind. Let temporal things stay temporal and eternal things stay eternal.
And have a fantastic life.
Allons-y!
