The Heroes journey

I hope that no female that reads this post will think that I am a sexist pig, because I am not. This is a blog all about how dating is just like the heroes journey. It all starts for most Latter Day Saints around the age of 16. We are given all that task to start dating. As we start we are not as comfortable with it as we should be, but it grows on us. As all Heroes, we also take leave from our life to change ourselves to fully accept our quest or duties; we serve a mission for two years.
After returning we are supposed to go y follow that white rabbit down the hole or go y find the Holy Grail aka future companion.
Along the way we have many mini quests that help prepare us to obtain our desire. We date, we earn money to go on dates y meet new people. There are also set backs in our quest, we have our hearts broken, we lose our jobs, we fail a class, but in the end good always triumphs over evil.
You can argue that true life is nothing like that, people have our their own free choice y that good doesn't always win, sometimes "Goliath kicks the crap out of David" and that is true, but like I said, it is just a minor set back.
Once you get out there y find your Holy Grail, don't let go, but if you do lose her, don't worry you'll find her. You just have to wait your turn y not give up, because she's out there (or he, for the female sake) just learning what to contrast you against.
In the end we will all win, but it might not be with whom we think it will be. So my faithful Heroes on your own personal quests, don't give up hope. Be humbly y keep on keepin' on!!!
