I had been in a long-term relationship that was not healthy, was not good for me.

But it was like all I knew.

Yeah.

And it's scary to leave something that you kind of had going a certain way in your mind.

And, you know...

I thought I was going to marry that guy.

Thank goodness that all didn't work out.

And I just want to say that next step or the step to the scary spot that you don't want to take is so worth taking.

Because I was thinking about the other day and I was like, if I hadn't left that, I would have never met this guy.

And it like made me so sad immediately because I'm so happy I met him.

Yeah.

And I'm like if I had allowed myself to stay in that like toxic not good relationship I would have never had the probably would have never connected with this guy.

A man or anyone you date shouldn't, you know, dictate your self-worth or anything like that.

But I also think being with someone that is, I don't want to say, like, loving you correctly, but, like, truly, like, is, like, giving you admiration and showing you affection and saying nice things to you about yourself.

Like, it's nice to hear that stuff.

And then vice versa when you're in a relationship that's, like, not giving you that at all.

If anything, it's, like, bringing you down.

Yeah.

it really does a number on your self-confidence.

Yeah, I feel very different.
