“We have conversations about what we want, our values. I’m still a little bit messy, and the thing with me, what I’m navigating right now is learning when to accept when someone’s telling me this is the way you should do it and now this is how you do it.

“So, making sure that I understand where you’re coming from without going, ‘Oh, why are you telling me what to do?’

“Instead of, ‘Oh, you’re trying to help me’. That’s what I’m learning in this relationship.”
