Not really sure if there's one particular thing that triggered this train of thought, but I just wanted to talk about women and their standards. By standards I don't just mean the standards they put on men, but, consequently, the standards they put on themselves.
I can speak for myself when I say I went through a period where I took anything and anybody that came along my way. I uninstalled my "filter" and just let anyone into my life. I claimed I just wanted to have fun. When I look back on that period in my life I suppose you could say I accomplished that goal. I had a lot of fun meeting new people and doing new things, but everything comes with a price. With that "fun" came vulnerability and a false sense of heightened self-confidence. I truly believe that every single person that comes into your life leaves a mark, positive or negative, and for a while I lost sight of that.
This is getting long. Okay basically ladies, do not lose sight of how you want to portray yourself, what type of person you want to be, and the type of people you need in your life to achieve that. You may think you have to lower your standards to get guys to pay attention to you because you think they won't give "uptight" girls the time of day. That's a myth like the lochness monster. It's those men that take the time to discover your standards and meet them that are worth your time. I'm not saying you should play games but if you make yourself too easy, too available then these men will treat you too basic. Every single woman is worth more.
Think of a dream or goal you have for yourself. Now quadruple that. That should be your goal. That should be your benchmark. That should be your standard. You can reach it with the right person in your life. You are worth it.
