And I think I'd rather feel like I lived than, you know, never lived at all.

But I think the important thing that I've always done is try to learn by my mistakes and try and look why I make the decisions I make and, you know, not wanting to make the same mistake twice.

Why do you think the marriage didn't work?

I think...

probably what I've done my whole life is think that love is enough.

And unfortunately love isn't enough.

And I, I always just thought, Oh, we'll figure it out.

Love is enough.

Love, love will win.

Love is the ultimate thing that will win, which I'd love to believe is true, but unfortunately it's not.

And I think alignment is a true, is really important.

I think, um, honesty, I think, um, two people that have, you know, aligned intentions.

Um, and I think those are things that I never really,

looked at you know throughout any of my relationships I mean even friendships I don't think I've done that I think I've just kind of thought oh it'll be fine and it's not but I think unfortunately now that's why well unfortunately or fortunately that's why I've been single for the last two and a half years because now I do know what's important I know what works for me whereas before I kind of just wanted to make something work whereas now I'm like what works for me um

And when you realize what does work for you, the pool of people become much smaller.

And that's okay.

I'm all right with that.

Yeah, 100%.

And I think it's just really important to whatever you get yourself.

I don't have any regrets about my past.
