The Healthy Medium

The approach of How Not To Fall In Love is quite severe. Anticipation of “the one” is not encouraged. Reading into his actions is not allowed. And going crazy, spending all of your time thinking about him is forbidden.

The severity is completly intentional.


But isn’t it ridiculous, asking me to go from one extreme to another?

I figure, that on the journey from over-analyzing his every move to not caring if he shows up (at work, school, or ever again in your life) you will reach a healthy medium. Somewhere along the way from one extreme to the next, you’re going to arrive at healthiness.



Let’s say you’ve been trying not to fall in love with a certain person for a month. For several days of that month, it probably wasn’t so difficult. Maybe you didn’t even remember you were trying. That was the healthy medium. However, like I said, it’s a journey. And some days are not as successful. Some days, you take two steps backwards, running into old habits you were trying to defeat.

This blog is about trying things out and seeing what works for you—how much analyzing you can get away with. How often you should check his profile page. Learning if your fascination is actually unhealthy, because sometimes it isn’t.

Love,

Zabrinah

  1. I always just try not to think about "him." It's especially hard for me because I have this specific face in my head of what my "dream guy" looks like, and I've been known to daydream WAY too much about him and anticipate him showing up in my life around every corner. It gets frustrating and disappointing, because I don't want to know when he's going to show up. I don't want to be expecting him. I want it to be a surprise and on God's timing.

  2. Thanks for stopping by! I know a lot of girls who fall completely on the left end of the spectrum
