One thing that I’ve tried to prioritize time and time again is authenticity, especially when it comes to dating. As I got older, the qualities I looked for in a partner drastically shifted. Getting clear on what my non-negotiables are and the vision I wanted my life to look and feel like. If you’re dating, try asking yourself “does this person make me feel safe?” “Will they support me through my hardest days?” “Do we share the same values?” So, don’t be afraid to embrace your quirks, passions, and imperfections when you're in the early stages. Knowing what makes you, you is so important, and the right person will the one who makes you feel like you can show up as your whole self.
