Don't limit yourself by putting your self care on the back burner. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thecrabtreeschatroom/support

I took to social media to cure my writers block and this is what one listener requested I talk about. I hope this is an eye opener for those of you who have been struggling with dating. Sometimes we limit ourselves from our true potential. That includes dating potential as well. Don't sell yourself short. You're worth it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

There's a difference between constructive criticism and jealous criticism. Are you sure you know the difference? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

I had an experience that will last me a lifetime. Being a bi-racial half black, and half white person gives me two sides to two stories. Dating has it too. So many things could be fixed if we just changed our perspective and looked at both sides  of the story. Everyone is so quick to be biased about something but can't objectify to most situations. In all reality people are going to have their own opinions about something at the end of the day. So do what you do best and do you. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

I did an interview with my cousin M and gave you my side of the story. As a 2 year recovering addict I give my insight and my cousin M's 4 year, almost five, recovery insight as well.

I’m not sure what makes other people want to put others down but in this episode I want you to know that bullying is never OK. It’s a form for the people who are going through shit in our life deciding to handle it in a way that’s uncalled for and not OK for others so just remember to love yourself for who you are because you are what makes you you and imperfections are beautiful. Nobody can tell you differently because no one is better than anyone. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

If you're going to love someone you have to love all of them. It's not fair to them if you don't. Just because you can't see mental illness doesn't mean it's not real. Don't punish us for the fact that you're not able to understand us. Not all women are Bipolar but those of us who are want you to see us for the way we are and not try to change anything about us. The right kind of love makes us want to be better not bitter. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

Is it really all about a man’s money? Do you know what no means? How’s dating someone with mental illness? People don’t know anything until they spend time alone with themselves. It’s amazing how much you learn about yourself when you’re alone. Good vibes come from you first.

       There are times in our lives where instead of changing habits we enable them by doing nothing to stop them. In this episode I update you guys on where I'm at in life and what I'm doing while also giving you the encouragement to change. Don't let others hold you back from choosing a better path. If they don't contribute to the good and they're only contributing to the bad it's time for them to go. So move forward and change for the better. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

No matter how bad times get they do get better. Gaining trust after recovering from drug addiction can be a difficult thing but it is possible. First you just have to focus on keeping your sobriety as a mindset. Staying sober isn't always easy but it does get easier. I hope this episode helps those in the recovery process or those who are possibly relapsing because it does get better. Love,  Jas --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

Let’s think about the younger generation were influencing now days --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jasminesays/support

Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game! Take a chance and let them crash through your walls instead of pushing them away. Love is scary but it's worth the risk. Standards are there to tell us whether or not we're good enough for that person, not good enough in general. Ladies and gents why is that we need blogs to tell us things that are considered common courtesy. Come on ya'll! Let's start giving people reasons why we're not interested, taking 10 seconds to reply to that text, and actually take the time to get to know each other for once. Isn't that the point of dating? To fall in love with someone we want to know everything about? What happened to not begging for attention and actually picking us up for dates and not considering a hangout session as one. I miss crossing paths with people in my life who are genuinely interested in getting to know me. It's not always a bad thing letting people get to know who you are. Not everyone is going to like us, but we get to choose who has the power to hurt us. No one can hurt you without your permission unless they stabbed you or whatever. LOL!

People are always gonna remember how you make them feel. I know it's that way for me. In this episode I share my thoughts about how we should treat people in our day to day lives and why it matters.
