Hey, beautiful souls. It's brandy (brandy, not brandy melville) here, descending from our celestial sanctuary for a moment, to pulse-check with you glamorous warriors. Let's talk about the enchanting labyrinth that is dating out of one's league and how a goddess in college or the creative hustle like you can glide through it powerfully, even when the gentleman casting his gaze is older and serpentine with allure. Our sacred scripture commands us: "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised" (Proverbs 31:30 ESV).
Finding oneself in the orbit of a seasoned soul, older and exuding an intoxicating allure, can feel like being serenaded by the sirens. Yet, we must remember to stand strong in our value and the light we bring into this world. Divine femininity does not waver for temporal fascinations. Hold your head high, for your worth is woven from celestial threads, not earthly validations. If his intentions spark a fire within, let it burn a righteous flame—test it, and see if it purifies or merely consumes. "The Lord is my strength and my song" (Exodus 15:2).
Engage in meaningful conversations that transcend surface-level flirtations. Your heart, adorned in a gown of virtues, deserves no less. Should he dance around the subject of your faith or creative ambitions, let your stance be unyielding yet graceful, like a willow in the wind—rooted yet flexible. To know one's worth is to never settle for a love that seeks to diminish or dismiss but one that echoes the divine melody within you.
Walk away, if need be, with the grace of a swan gliding across a moonlit lake. Your heart is a cathedral, darling, not a playground for those unworthy of its sacred halls. Illuminate your path with the Word, and let no earthly prince dim the heavenly glow you carry.
