This is Applicant #7.

Back in October, he submitted an application.

What followed were seven months of conversations, visits, laughter, growth, and learning who someone really is when the cameras are off and real life shows up.

We took our time.

We asked hard questions.

We learned each other’s strengths and flaws.

And today, Applicant #7 became my husband.

I’d say the application was worth it. ❤️

Most people are great at relationships… until it’s time to solve a conflict.

That’s when different conflict styles start showing up.

Some people avoid conflict and need space to process.

Others want to face things directly and resolve them immediately.

And when two people with opposite conflict styles try to work through a problem, it can get messy fast.

One person feels overwhelmed and wants space.

The other person feels anxious and wants reassurance and resolution now.

Neither person is necessarily wrong.

They’re just processing differently.

The game changer is learning how to stay calm and work through conflict without making it worse.

A few things that help:

• Listen to the actual problem.

• Try not to take everything personally or get defensive.

• Pull yourself outside of the situation and look at it objectively.

• If you need space, communicate that clearly:
“I need some time to process this, but I will come back to it.”
Then actually come back within a reasonable amount of time.

• If you’re the person wanting immediate resolution, try to stay calm too.
Respect that the other person may genuinely need time to process.
Not everyone regulates emotions the same way.

• Distract yourself instead of spiraling.
Go for a drive.
Call a friend.
Watch a show.
Go for a walk.

Do something that helps calm your nervous system instead of obsessing over the conflict while waiting.

• Use humor when appropriate.

• Stay on the same team.

The goal should never be:
“Me versus you.”

It should be:
“Us versus the problem.”

“How do we solve this together?”

The boyfriend application journey has been nothing like I expected.

There have definitely been haters. People accusing me of wanting attention, calling it a scam, or assuming it’s some giant joke and yes… even calling me a gold digger for having standards. 😂 Trust me, I’ve heard it all. I’ve even had close friends and family basically checking on my mental stability like, “So… are you okay?” after I launched something this bold.

But behind the scenes, I’ve actually met some incredibly genuine, kind-hearted people through this process. Men who were emotionally open, thoughtful, intentional, respectful, self-aware, and genuinely looking for something meaningful too.

Has every interaction turned into a love story? Of course not. But it restored some of my faith that good people still exist and that there are still people out there willing to be vulnerable and put themselves out there authentically.

I think the part people on the outside don’t fully understand is that it was never just about “finding a boyfriend.” It has been a journey of conversations, connection, growth, standards, vulnerability, discernment, and learning a lot about human nature along the way.

For all the chaos it brought… I’m genuinely grateful for it. ❤️

Most people don’t struggle with dating because they “can’t find someone.”

They struggle because they don’t know how to have deeper conversations once they do.

Surface-level chemistry can create attraction…
but meaningful questions are what create emotional connection, compatibility, and clarity.

The older I get, the more I realize the right questions save you from wasting months… or years.

Not:
“What’s your favorite color?”
But:
• What lesson changed how you approach relationships?
• What does your ideal life actually look like?
• What are you passionate about outside of work and survival mode?
• What would the people closest to you say are your best and worst traits?

That’s where you start seeing:
self-awareness…
emotional intelligence…
values…
ambition…
healing…
ego…
depth…
or lack of it.

And honestly? Some people are attractive until you hear them think.

These are the kinds of conversations that make someone unforgettable.

Which question in this post do you think reveals the MOST about a person? 👀👇

Mentally clocked out. Physically parked by the pool. 😌☀️

This week tested me in ways I’m not even ready to unpack yet, but I survived it. And that alone deserves a little sunshine and peace.

Here’s to a calmer week ahead because whew… this one was a lot.

I still believe in the kind of love that feels peaceful, intentional, and deeply genuine.
The kind rooted in honesty, friendship, loyalty, attraction, emotional safety, and faith.

Not perfect… just two people willing to communicate, grow, and choose each other with consistency and care.

I believe the right connection brings both comfort and excitement.
You can laugh together, dream together, support each other through hard seasons, and still handle conflict with maturity instead of ego.

Life is too short to settle for relationships that feel confusing, one-sided, or disconnected.
Love should add peace to your life, not constantly take it away.

Maybe that kind of connection is rarer these days… but I still believe it exists.
And maybe the beautiful thing about life is that sometimes meaningful people begin entering our lives long before we fully understand what role they may end up playing in it.

At some point, you stop confusing attention for intention.
You stop believing chemistry is the same thing as consistency.
You realize that words can be beautiful… and still not build a life.

You learn that peace matters more than potential.
That being chosen temporarily is not the same thing as being valued intentionally.
And that loneliness hurts a lot less than abandoning yourself to keep someone comfortable.

After enough disappointment, your standards stop feeling “too high” and start feeling necessary.
You become slower to trust, but softer with yourself.
More protective of your energy.
More aware of what drains you and what actually feeds your soul.

And eventually, you stop waiting for someone else to create the life you want.
You build it yourself.
Slow mornings.
Coffee on the balcony.
Plants climbing the walls.
A peaceful home.
A calm nervous system.
A life that still feels beautiful even when nobody is watching.

And one day you realize healing was never becoming cold.
It was learning how to stay warm… without setting yourself on fire for people who only came to borrow the light.

I think real self respect begins the moment you stop trying to force clarity out of inconsistent people.

When you stop over explaining your needs.
Stop negotiating your standards.
Stop chasing reassurance from people whose actions already contain the answer.

Peace enters your life when you realize that genuine interest naturally creates effort, and genuine effort rarely leaves someone confused about where they stand.

The older I get, the less interested I am in having a large circle and the more grateful I become for the rare people who have truly stood the test of time.

18 years of friendship.
Countless flights.
Countless countries.
Countless conversations about life, love, heartbreak, business, family, dreams, and everything in between.

We both live life in the fast lane. Busy schedules. Big responsibilities. Constant movement. But somehow, no matter how chaotic life gets, we always make time for each other.

She has been one of the most loyal, consistent, supportive people in my life for nearly two decades. Truly the kind of friend who shows up when it matters.

I’ve also had the privilege of watching her refuse to settle in love. I watched her walk away from relationships that weren’t right for her instead of forcing something just to avoid being alone… and now she has the kind of marriage and family that honestly gives me hope.

That’s the thing about high standards… whether in friendship or relationships: they may leave you with fewer people, but the people who remain are usually the ones worth keeping.

And honestly, I’d rather have one deeply genuine friendship than a hundred surface-level connections.

Forever grateful for our lunch dates and this beautiful human.

I stopped trying to be less intense just because other people were uncomfortable with confidence.
