Become Your Best
Asking my social circle for dating advice, the most common answer I get is this:
“You just have to be yourself.”
They’re not wrong about that advice.

Resolute Commitment
In the past, I’ve had to remove many people from my life because of their lack of consistency. Trusting their words, I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

Release Those Who Aren’t Pulling You Forward

And for some, I did not even meet in person.
Regardless...
“Please don’t settle. Not in a job you hate, not in a town where you don’t feel at home, not with friendships that aren’t real and especially, especially not with love.”

Find Your Tribe
In 2017, I spent a week in Los Angeles, California for a personal development program.
