“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”

— Nayyirah Waheed

Reflection is really important. Its important that we give ourselves time to reflect and process information and feelings. So with that being said, when you are given feedback, especially if it is something hard to hear, it is absolutely okay to not respond right away.

Things you can say: Thank you for your feedback. Let me think this through. I'd love the opportunity to reflect and process this. Can we revisit this conversation later?

Embrace the pause, my friends. Remember we are all human; we all have emotions and triggers. By allowing ourselves the opportunity for reflection, we can cultivate greater self-awareness and gain better control over our responses and reactions.

No one is ever going to be good enough for you—that’s what my parents always said, and probably what yours told you too. On the other hand, only you can decide when someone is going to be good enough for you. It’s not the same thing. The parents were right, essentially.

“One of the best feelings is finding someone who really gets you. A person who lets you be vulnerable and honest. The kind of person who encourages you to push past your flaws because they accept you as you are. Someone who never tells you that you’re too much of this and too little of that. Because to them you’re just enough of everything they love.”

— Sylvester McNutt
