Send us a text It’s still the beginning of a new year, and I’m evolving—growing in ways I didn’t fully expect. Lately, I’ve been discovering new things about my dating standards that I want to share. I have a feeling you might be going through something similar, maybe sensing a shift but not quite sure what it means, just like I was. At first, I didn’t fully understand what was happening either, but eventually, I realized the change and what was causing it. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

The situation is such that a woman moves in with a guy and ends up helping him pay for his place. However, her name isn't on the deed or lease, so she's essentially vulnerable. Also, I see women pouring so much into a guy. They're financially helping him, giving him advice, and more, only to see him walk out the door once they have built him up. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

Send us a text Valentine's Day is approaching; for some, it might be a comedy show. As women, we need to be more cautious and ask relevant questions before getting too involved in any relationships. This will help us avoid unpleasant surprises, such as our partner not getting us anything for Valentine's Day. Additionally, it's crucial to have a preference for the type of person we want to date. Lastly, I would like to remind everyone about the Free Health Clinic, an essential resource that shouldn't be overlooked for your new partner...LOL https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

Trusting Yourself: My Personal Story of Thinking Someone Had My Best Interests at Heart 26:47

Send us a text Trusting yourself is crucial to making the right decisions in life. I learned this lesson the hard way when I placed my trust in someone whom I believed had my best interests at heart. However, it wasn't until I began to listen to my own intuition and trust myself that I was able to make decisions that truly aligned with my values. Therefore, if you ever find yourself in a difficult situation that requires a decision, always remember to trust yourself and your own judgment. It may not always be an easy task, but it will lead you toward the right path. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…
