100 Reasons the Best Relationships Start With Wholeness, Not Urgency.

Right now, I’m in a quiet season. Not the kind you scroll past on social media. Not the kind that makes for flashy stories or exciting updates. Just… quiet. I don’t party. I don’t travel. I’m not chasing anything loud. I’m living simply, intentionally, with the kind of peace that doesn’t need to be explained.

There’s no dramatic glow-up story here. I’m not reinventing myself. I’m just living like time matters—like maybe I’ve got five good years ahead of me and I want them to be spent well: spiritually alert, emotionally grounded, and deeply content.

I pray. I fast. I walk. I rest. I take my faith seriously, even if I’m not currently going to church because I’ve seen too many wolves in sacred clothing. But I pray at home. I’m in a virtual prayer group. I’m trying a Christian dating app—not because I’m in a rush to fall in love, but because I wouldn’t mind meeting someone thoughtful to talk to. That’s where I’m at. And honestly, it’s a good place to be.

I’m not waiting for life to begin. I’m already living it.
