#standarts

Howl (from Howl’s Moving Castle) might have set the bar so high when it comes to looks, i gotta hand it to him, he started the whole  ~pretty boy~ wave

My standards: you need to get an education and work and study hard

The standards of the world is becoming like Everest

When you adopt the standards and the values of someone else, you surrender your own integrity and become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.

Don't ever lower your standards, because people are fallible and human and whatever standards they meet there's always opportunity to go lower 🤣 not harsh, just true, my parents have been married 30 years. I've seen them both stoop pretty low but they at least have enough morals as a standard baseline where even at their lowest they've never done certain things. Why is always important to make sure you're on the same wavelength and morals as a partner, and get to see them during their lows because ultimately the person you marry will have to walk with you through hospital visits, deaths, failures, etc. And if you lower your standards, that person may not be the type who can hold up in those moments. I'm sure you know this but just as a reinforcement 🤗 I've kind of accepted, I'd rather have higher standards and potentially be alone yet happy with myself - rather than be hooked up to someone who makes me miserable just because I didn't want to be lonely.
