Keep the faith
When we first went into lockdown, I never thought I would find love, or even a connection with someone, because it felt almost impossible before that time.
I'd gone through all the motions with men in real life and on social media, that unfortunately a lot of women have had to experience in today's society. Coming out of a domestic abusive relationship, healing from sexual trauma I had experienced, and then having to experience people who were emotionally unavailable, ghosting, flaking, misogynistic, pressurising, demeaning and just pure A holes, at that point I had lost all faith in men.
Until, I decided to redownload my tinder, and see what was happening. When I least expected it, I matched with someone that I'm currently seeing, and honestly he is amazing, I couldn't have met anyone better. I am super cautious with anyone, like i know the red flags to look for, I know who to avoid. But there is not a single thing that I could describe negatively, he has been incredible in restoring some of my faith in humanity, but also helping me with my self growth journey. If you're reading this and have felt the same as me, your time will come, you'll meet that person who will restore your faith, change your perceptions and actually be the highlight of your year, like he was for me.
