Standards are important because they help us protect ourselves and make better choices about the people we allow into our lives. Our standards constantly remind us that we deserve to be treated with respect. It also prevents us from having one-sided friendships or intimate relationships with partners who aren't right for us. I feel that by prioritizing ourselves and maintaining clear standards, we are less likely to accept behavior that hurts us or makes us feel unimportant.

We’re still saying yes to every date, as I mentioned in the previous podcast. And we’re still keeping our standards high. We know what we want, and we’re standing on it.

When someone says, "Meet them where they are," it may sound mature to some, but I view it differently. To me, it suggests taking a back seat and remaining quiet, lowering your expectations, shrinking your standards, ignoring red flags, accepting less effort, and staying comfortable in a situation that isn’t growing.

I have come to the conclusion that healing on our own isn’t always effective. Sometimes, we need a distraction to keep our minds engaged. I understand that some of you may not agree with this perspective, and I respect that completely. However, I encourage you to listen to the entire episode and share your thoughts with me.

Nope, it's not about him, it's the investment!! It's a the waste of time, the things that were accumulated!

This is what grief looks like. You slowly remove yourself from society. You are zoned out during conversations.

I've been reflecting on this a lot since my mother and Lulu passed away. It has made me think about intimate relationships, leading me to conclude that if a woman is afraid of losing everything, she is more likely to choose a better partner.
