There are two things we should always be 1. raw and 2. ready. When you are raw, you are always ready and when you are ready you usually realize that you are raw. Waiting for perfection is not an answer, one cannot say "I will be ready when I am perfect" because then you will never be ready, rather one must say "I am raw and I am ready just like this right now, how and who I am.

A message from the other day was talking about this exact same thing. There were opportunities that were in your vicinity in the past that you had to pass up because if you had accepted them at that time, you would not have been able to keep them around because of a lack of readiness. This isn't anything that you are at fault for, nor is it a negative thing. It's perfectly fine to wait on something if you know you're not quite ready, but have a blueprint for what your own readiness looks like.

American Marines are being told to prepare for combat. “Prepare your family.” My personal opinion: I would not die for this mediocre madman. No way. Neither should any American soldier. I have a bad feeling about this. Poor planning rarely ends well.

“Doing something we don’t really want to, don’t feel able to handle or aren’t ready for is usually going to feel way worse than holding back on something we want to do and do feel ready for. So, it’s always sound for all of us, when there is a person who needs things slower, to lead with where they’re at, and good partners will always be down with that. If someone really feels that moving faster is something they need and a slower pace is just not working for them, they always have the option of choosing to be with a different partner who is where they’re at. Not everyone we want to have a sexual relationship with will be a good fit, and that’s just something everyone needs to accept and not try to force. Not all sexual or romantic⁠ partners will be compatible.”
