Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
I dated someone whom I thought I loved. I’m sure I did, yet there were many things that weren’t right. One, I thought I knew better than my God when it came down to such an important decision. Two, I thought I was ready for marriage. Three, I thought I was going to be able to provide the type of support he needed.
Dating isn’t just about is the person good for you, but are you good for them. Neither one of us seemed to be good for each other. It’s so easy to pull the wool over your own eyes. True love doesn’t really do that though, infatuation does.
But one thing I learned after ending the relationship is to look back and learn about yourself. Look back and see what helped you realize the need to end it. One thing I realized afterwards was how he treated sensitive feelings and information. I once told him something that was very hard to share.
His response: Don’t ever tell me anything like that again.
Then I had a friend who was mentally ill and he said that I took him to a crazy person’s house.
The decision to let that relationship go helped me learn my value, my worth, and how a person speaks about your friends and sensitive information matters SO MUCH.
I will forever carry this with me, God willing, I date again with the view to marriage.
