Relationship Advice I’d Give to Younger Me

As your online big sister, here’s what I wish I did before getting into relationships 🫶🏻

From 18 years old, I’ve jumped from one relationship to the next and never give myself time in between for myself!!

I’ve recently started to ask myself, what does it mean to choose myself? What does it mean to choose myself in a relationship? I want to be able to answer those questions before my next relationship.

I hope you ask yourself those questions as well!🤍

I hope this helps!!

... Read moreEntering a relationship with a clear understanding of your desires is crucial. Before getting involved with a partner, reflect on what qualities matter most to you. Establish high standards that align with your self-worth. Setting boundaries not only safeguards your well-being but also nurtures trust and respect between partners. Moreover, taking time to know yourself deeply is essential. Understanding your emotions and triggers enables you to communicate effectively with your partner, ensuring your needs are heard. This guiding principle is vital for cultivating authentic connections. Delve into self-discovery to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships in the future. Building a strong sense of self leads to more profound, supportive bonds with others, ultimately enhancing your personal growth and happiness.
