The project was somewhat successful; it helped me realize the limits I put on myself and allowed me to loosen up my identity during the dates.

I've become more ruthless about prioritizing my own needs and freedom. I no longer keep a schedule and operate more freely, which has given me a sense of liberation.

Intimacy is about being completely yourself with another person, which is often obscured in the early stages of dating due to social pressures.

When dating, it's beneficial to reflect on how a partner makes you feel, as this can provide insight into the relationship's potential.

Trusting my intuition becomes challenging in different environments, especially when traveling, as subtle contextual cues can influence my decision-making.

People often enjoy controlled uncertainty, such as in horror films or surprise dining experiences, where they know they are safe despite not knowing what to expect.

People often stay in unsatisfying relationships because they fear the unknown of making a change. Acknowledging our mortality can help us make more intentional choices in our lives and relationships.

I learned from painful experiences that having control over your company is vital, as it allows you to navigate through uncertainties and make necessary pivots.

It's crucial to release pressure in a relationship through honest conversations, rather than letting it build up until it explodes. I have to understand who I'm talking to and realize that sometimes I need to take a step back, even if I'm unsatisfied, because pushing forward can create more problems.
