Last year's version of me would accept breadcrumbs of attention and call it enough because I didn't believe I warranted anything better. Now I actually know what I bring to the table and won't settle for people who don't recognize it. Your standards naturally rise when your self-worth does - it's not about being picky, it's about having self-respect. This journey was never about becoming someone else to attract different people, it was about valuing myself enough to expect reciprocity. If you're done accepting less than you deserve, I shared what changed my perspective - it's in my bio.
