This month was a little different. It turned out to be a
very passive bravery, though in my head, it still took a lot to go through with
it.
I signed up for a relationship site. I’ve done this before –
with the help of a friend and late night punchiness, it turned out completely
loony. By the light of day, and Captain’s proofreading, we realized how nuts I
sounded from an outside point of view. But I wasn’t very serious about it
either.
This time, I put a little (not much) thought into it. And
still kept the proper attitude. Knowing that this could a big potential for
ego-blows, signed up with feelings of “this may be a complete waste of time, but
let’s throw the line out there and see what happens”.
2 weeks in and maybe not horrible. (Honestly, I got busy and
forgot to check it for almost a week.) I’ve had a few “winks” and a couple of interesting
emails. If nothing else, it could be a nice distraction and potential fodder
for a few good stories. Like some of the crazys my last attempt attracted!
You shouldn't downplay the bravery it takes to do this! Putting yourself out there is one of the hardest yet potentially most rewarding things we can do.
