One step forward, two steps back. This is how we describe life’s most challenging seasons, when the road is filled with speed bumps, roadblocks, and wrong way signs.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If only dating went so smoothly. When it comes to finding love, it often feels like one step forward, three steps — or four steps — or even five steps — back. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ And that’s okay.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ No matter where you are on your dating journey, take a moment to pause and reflect on how far you (yes, you) have come. Because the truth is, even the backward steps bring growth.
