After kissing many frogs 🐸, I finally found my prince! ❤️👑 And I couldn’t be happier that it’s @henry_a2505 . 🥰

Being on Love on the Spectrum taught me so much about dating, but also about myself.

I learned that keeping an open mind is important, but that doesn’t mean settling for someone who doesn’t share your values, beliefs, or vision for the future.

Looking back, I think I was trying TOO hard to make things work on the show, even when the matches weren’t right for me. Don’t get me wrong! The show does the best they can, but they are not mind readers. They do check in to see how things are going, but I only told them what I thought they wanted to hear, not the whole truth… and that was on me! Then after my last break up on the show, I started focusing more on myself and my own happiness. Don’t get me wrong, I still kept my eyes open when meeting new people, but I learned to look for the things that REALLY matter: respect, kindness, honesty, genuine interest in who I am, and someone who supports my passions and dreams.

I learned that having one or two things in common doesn’t automatically make someone the right person for you. You deserve someone who appreciates the REAL you and loves you for who you are.

My aunt always told me, “Mejor sola que mal acompañada!” ❤️ (Better to be alone than in bad company.) And you know what? She was RIGHT!

I stopped trying so hard to find love, focused on being myself, and then something beautiful happened. I found Henry. ❤️

He’s not just my boyfriend. He’s my best friend, my biggest supporter, and the person who makes me feel loved and respected for exactly who I am.

So here’s your reminder: DON’T SETTLE just because you want to be in a relationship. Being single is better than being with the wrong person. You deserve a love that feels right, not one you have to force.

Sometimes, when you stop trying to make the wrong person work, you make room for the RIGHT person to come into your life. ➡️🤴

And Henry, my honey bunny 🐰, I’m so glad we found each other! ❤️😘 even though it wasn’t on the show, it was because of the show. So thank you #loveonthespectrum #love #NeverSettle #AutismAndLove #RelationshipGoals
