Because I've proven to myself that I can stick to an integrity commitment in a big way.

In a way where I had not been...

paid the favor of the same loyalty and so it just it has felt really good and i have just probably have waited a lot of heartbreak honestly and just healed from what had happened to me before and then i'm ready now once all my little eyes are you know dotted and my t's are crossed to just step into the next thing in a really free and confident way i have a lot of peace about what's next

I think it just hurts.

And I have a kid to be mindful of.

I think that it's important to be mindful of that the person that you do end up dating is going to be in your kid's life.

And making sure that you are in a healthy, good place before you do that I think is really important.

I think they are going to be very interesting.

Like I said, I'm religious, and so I will be dating Catholics.

And so I think that in some way, Catholics are still very old school.

There's still the concept of courting, and what you're looking for is a little bit more, I don't want to say spelled out, but you kind of know what the values you're looking for are.

So I think that'll help me avoid a lot of not-so-great guys, because I'm looking for very high men who care about their values.

Yeah.

But I honestly have built a peaceful life with me and Ellie.

And so whoever I do bring into that is just going to have to be a beautiful cherry on top.

I'm not looking to rush into anything.

I know what I'm looking for and I know when I'll see it.

And once that chapter is closed, I'm going to be open and ready to receive it.

And I honestly have just so much peace about it.

Like whatever happens is going to be exactly what it's supposed to.
