You know you're ready for a relationship when. . .
. . . you've earned the power of self respect!
So here we have another Scott Pilgrim vs. The World themed blog post, but this time I want to focus on the hero, Scott. In the final battle scene, he initially earns the power of love when he claims that he is fighting for Ramona. But then, he levels up, as seen in the picture above, when he tells Gideon that he is fighting for himself. It is at this point that he proves himself truly worthy of Ramona's love.
Well ladies and gentleman, I have finally found the answer for how to tell if you are ready to be in a relationship.
First and foremost, it takes being able to honestly say to yourself that you believe you are worthy of another person's love. This can only stem from truly respecting yourself.
But you know what I've found? A funny thing happens when you can look at yourself in the mirror and honestly say these two things:
I am worthy of love.
I respect myself.
You no longer necessarily want to be in a relationship.
Isn't it funny how that works?
It's because a lot of people who really, desperately want to be in a relationship are actually not at all ready to be in one. People use a lot of things to fill the voids inside them, drugs, obsessions, relationships, but the only thing that can truly fill that hole is something you have to discover inside yourself, and the only person who can do that is you.
And sure, other people can help you along the way. There's nothing wrong with leaning on friends and family when you feel sad and sometimes we need encouragement from those around us in order to give us that push to really do what it is that we need to do for ourselves, but you can't rely on another person for the answers to your important questions in life.
Though, sometimes, it will be someone else who makes you realize which questions to ask yourself. ;-)
Hooray!!
