Last night I had this super weird dream and I just remember that someone had invented a hotdog that already had ketchup inside and everyone thought it was great but then people started to argue that it discriminated against people who like mustard and this radical faction was known as the "condimentalists" but they were all killed by a saber tooth tiger who liked Dijon so

Update 2023: I found this in my drafts from who knows how long ago. I have no recollection of writing this. I have no recollection of this dream. I am perplexed but more than a little intrigued. What happened? Did the condimentalists gain equality in a ketchup-dominated world? Why did the Dijon-loving saber tooth tiger kill its fellow mustard-lovers? So many questions but I do t have the answers.

How do we know exactly if our standards are too high, or too low? Do we settle for the first one we’re attracted to go from there? Ideally, that’s a negative, but for some of us, that’s exactly what has happened. But that circles back to the main question, how do we know? You can make a check list, but 10-1 you’re never going to find someone who checks every single box. So do you just settle? No. Never settle! In a good enough relationship (I use the word enough, very loosely), people have high standards for how they’re treated. Not everyone is going to meet those standards. After settling twice in my adult life, my advice, never settle for anything less than you deserve. Treat your other half the way you want your son or daughter to be treated. Keeping that mindset will take you further. I promise.
