Don’t Settle:


Don’t settle.


Don’t settle for anything less than you deserve.


Don’t settle for less than the best.


Don’t settle for someone who doesn’t deserve you.


Don’t settle for someone who doesn’t appreciate you.


Don’t settle for someone who’s not committed.


But in today’s world, that’s so hard to find.


Everyone settles.


We have a choice paradox problem these days.


Online dating is a perfect example.


No one is committed because people always have another option.


They always have the choice of finding someone else.


An easier path.


But if you want something real, you have to commit.


But be careful.


If the person on the other side doesn’t feel the same way, move on.


It’s not worth your time.


You can’t control how someone else feels.


If they’re not invested in a relationship, they’re not invested in you.


They’re dealing with their own shit.


All good.


Move on.


Don’t waste your time.


It’s the most valuable asset you have on this planet.


You deserve someone who cares about you.


Who shows up for you in the good and the bad times.


Who’s actually interested in you and not obsessed with themselves.


Everyone’s dealing with their own shit.


When you’re in a relationship, you’re always dealing with the other person’s shit as well.


Never forget that.


Their own problems are now your problems.


Saw a meme that said ‘modern dating is basically telling all your embarrassing stories and hoping someone is still there.’


Accurate.


So don’t settle for someone who won’t listen to you.


Choose yourself.


Make sure the person fits in your life. 


Of course you have to fit in theirs, but make sure their energy matches yours.


Relationships are hard.


It takes two to tango.


So if both ain’t there, peace.


Move on.


Don’t settle.
