We all have a dating story. Perpetually single, in a relationship since you were 12, consistent heartbreak, fall fast only to end just as fast….sound like you? Here is my secret as to how you can stop wasting your energy on resenting your relationships and relationship status: START LIVING AUTHENTICALLY! When you live your truth, speak your mind, confront your true feelings, and allow others to see you for who you really are, you live a completely different (and happier) existence than one where you are trying to be someone you are not.
The same reason you find yourself over-eating, not sleeping, avoiding the gym, and having anxiety, is the same reason you are struggling with your relationship status. Don’t believe me? That’s fine….but then stop blaming someone or something else!

Or if you find yourself in relationships that keep self destructing, it’s logical to assume that there is something about you that can change and grow.
