Living Beloved-A Journey Through Singleness

Hey there, I’m Destiny

I’m an American girl on a wild ride of self-discovery… currently based somewhere in East Asia and floating somewhere between cultures. Technically, I’m American. But I haven’t felt like one in a long time. And while I’m definitely not Asian, people around here often forget I’m not a local — honestly, sometimes I forget too.

Take a café, for example. If it’s packed with Western tourists, I feel like the odd one out. But when it’s filled with Koreans chatting over americanos, I feel right at home. The gym’s the same way, except there, I’m usually the strongest one in the room (and not mad about it 💪🏽).

Cafés, gyms, and anywhere near water? Those are my sanctuaries. But let me rewind a bit and actually tell you why I started this blog.

For most of my life, I was firmly in the “I’m not getting married” camp. I loved (and still love) my freedom: watching whatever I want, eating on my schedule, sleeping like a queen, and diving into my hobbies without compromise.

 

It’s a vibe.

It’s peace.

It’s freedom.

But then I turned 26, and something shifted. What used to feel like total contentment started to stretch. That tiny thought—"maybe sharing life with someone could be… nice?" slowly turned into a full-on prayer request.

Now?

I deeply desire marriage. Not because I feel incomplete, but because I want to build something beautiful with someone. I want to be loved and to love deeply. I want to walk hand-in-hand through the highs and lows of life. Yes, God loves me beyond measure, and I love Him back. But I’d also like to experience the closeness, companionship, and romantic connection that comes with a committed relationship.

At the same time, I’m committed to living this single season well. I want to thrive in my relationship with God and trust His timing. I want to live a full, purpose-driven life, one that's honest, joyful, and a little messy in the best way.

So, if you’re into faith-filled reflections, stories about solo living abroad, or the rollercoaster of waiting well, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the journey 💗
