Podcast Transcript: Oh, trust me. I know it’s hard. We don’t get any real assurances in this life— and we’re lucky if we ever even know we’re headed in the right direction. Let alone GET the directions. It’s a whole bunch of “trust me” and “learn as you go.” I know. But this one? This one is a little less complicated. So I’m just going to say it. If someone needs space— give it to them. If someone ghosts you— don’t look back. If someone doesn’t know how they feel— then I'm sorry, but for now, the answer is no. Someone who doesn’t answer your calls or call you back is telling you one thing. You can sugar-coat it all you want— you can make excuses all you want— but love, you are not their priority. If you’ve been dating for awhile and you’ve never met their friends— or their family— or been to their place? One of two things is true. Either, they’re not telling you something— or you’re not their one. I get that it’s hard to face rejection. It is totally awful. We all think we should be immune to it. We all think it’s never going to happen to us. We all personalize it— thinking it’s something we did or didn’t do. It’s not. Rejection is a normal part of trying out two puzzle pieces to see if they fit. Most of the time, the answer is going to be no. And that’s ok. What you need to focus on in this life is being true to yourself. And that is all. And you do that even if it means you have to wait a little longer than you ever thought you’d have to. To get what you want. Oh, and one more thing. If you want what stays— then you have GOT to stop chasing what runs.
