"Please set the standards for the people you want in your life. It’s not selfish. It’s not rude. It’s imperative. You are allowed to determine who gets access to you. You are allowed to want people in your life who make you feel light and supported.” ~Jamie Varon

Healthy relationships don't just happen. They take work, vulnerability, and a willingness to get past our own ego. Many people have been sold a false, romanticized version of love that we meet the "right" person and everything falls into place.

What others say doesn't directly affect your emotions. Between their words and your feelings is your interpretation of their intention.
Agency lies in the space between stimulus and response.
A sign of emotional intelligence is recognizing your power to change your assumptions.
