Quote of the Month - March

“When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” – Maya Angelou

Want to be loved so bad

Want to be liked so bad

Want to be with someone so bad

Want to be in relationship so bad

Want to be in community so bad

This is one of the most difficult things to learn. I’ve figured it out the hard way, having witnessed the red flags and choosing to ignore them. We often do this when we want or desire something desperately – whether that be a friendship, relationship, or job – and we suffer because we chose to look the other way.

Does Dr. Angelou’s quote resonate with you? In what ways? Share in the comments!
