On watching part of The Bachelor for the first time:
It seems completely ridiculous at first, and then you realize that real life operates with the same mentality, just on a smaller scale.
We allow self-esteem issues to infiltrate our minds, and translate that into how others see us. We want to be the one chosen, the last girl who gets the proverbial rose as it were, and so many will do absolutely anything to get there.
And it’s so sad, yet it is such an easy mentality to dive into without even knowing it. To want to please someone else so much that you will do whatever you think it takes.
But there is beauty in boundaries, in the wait. In the development of who you are as an individual.
You have to care for yourself and love yourself before it is ever possible to care for someone else as they deserve.
Jesus loves us way too much to abandon the self-worth He has created us to have.
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
