My perspective on relationships shifts when I view the world through my “joy lens.” We’ve all experienced disappointment in romantic relationships or friendships. However, it’s not always the fault of the relationship itself. Sometimes, it’s the unrealistic expectations we impose upon it. We find ourselves let down when reality fails to match the narratives of love stories or romantic comedies we think it should be. But here’s the truth: not every person we begin a friendship with is destined to be our lifelong friend or companion, and that’s perfectly okay. Today, let’s delve into the importance of creating space for others, setting boundaries, avoiding gossip, minimizing complaints, and dramatizing situations and relationships. Prepare for a fun, thought-provoking, and inspiring experience. You deserve healthy, joyful relationships; this episode is your guide to making them a reality!
