Comfort Zone
A place or situation where one feels safe, at ease, and without stress.
I am writing about this subject today because it is near to me.
For the last two and a half years, I have lived in my comfort zone by closing my heart off to the possibility of finding a friend or even experiencing love again.
After being disappointed so many times, I got comfortable with being alone because, as I have stated in a few blogs before, it's easier than being hurt or lied to.
My comfort zone won't let me down because I am used to the routine that it entails.
My comfort zone has been a shield for a while, and I'm scared of letting down my shield for fear of what could happen to me.
I know for some it may seem silly in a way, but after the last relationship I had, it made me bitter and very guarded.
The relationship tore me in a lot of ways; my confidence was gone, and I believed I couldn't be loved without some form of physical cost behind it.
Who could love me the way I thought I deserved?
So I lived in my comfort zone, and now I need to let my shield down just a little to see what or who God has in store for me.
My grandma used to say, "God doesn't make mistakes ." So a couple of days ago, I started a conversation with someone on TikTok, and it's been going well so far. This person we will call J has begun to open my eyes to come out of my comfort zone.
I want to see how this will turn out. He does live in New Orleans, and I live in Cincinnati, so if nothing else, we become friends, then possibly grow into something else; only time will tell.
I will trust what God has in store, but I will keep going, seeing where this friendship may go.
